Umbilical cord stump

Ka

My boy is 9 days old and I noticed quite an odor coming from his umbilical cord stump. I called the nurse and she said it’s normal she also said some blood is normal as well and that I can put rubbing alcohol on the base of it twice a day. I did that this morning and now there is some blood on his onesie. 😢 when do you think it will finally fall off!!!

Poor babe.
