Question. So my baby is 3weeks old. Last week her umbilical cord fell off and left a scab. Well today after her bath the scab wiped off and was bloody and had a foul smell. Should I be concerned? My doctor hasn't call back after 3calls. It's not oozing anything and isn't red.

If it's not red, swollen, or oozing, and if she's not running fever then I doubt it's infected. I'd just continue to keep it as dry as possible.

my daughter is a little over two weeks and is going through the same... Dr said as long as it's not red/inflamed and bleeding like a actual cut then she's fine

My daughters did too.. Just continue to clean and take care of it until it looks healed. Just because it feel off doesn't mean stop cleaning it continue cleaning it.
