ugh i feel horrible the doctors say this is normal . is it . :/ they want me too put gauze on it ! i…

My mom always say to put alcohol in it

when she was born we asked them about it and they said noo and now they told us yes

@jessie433,

It could be cause they're worried about it getting infected because it's tearing away. Definitely put the gauze on it that way it doesn't keep snagging. And don't cry it's okay baby probably doesn't notice it happeningn

@paigey32, my mom always put some to my nephew she also covers it up with a little thing around it

okay i will do that thank u guys it jus looks soo bad :/ i feel horrible @jessie433 @santistevanmommie

It's okay, the alcohol will clean it up and the gauze will keep it looking better so no more snagging. It'll get better

my baby has the same thing right now only his cord fell off. I was terrified when we were doing skin to skin and I looked down and there was blood on my tummy and his :(

i just put some gauze on it hopefully it works they told me to clean it every other diaper changed or so !@santistevanmommie

and ur babys cord looked like that i jusy want it too fall offf ha :/ @jazmon_blue

How old is she?

8 days old @ginabee93

when do u think hers will fall off @jazmon_blue

@paigey32, She's so cute! My baby's umbilical cord is starting to fall off, I believe, because it's starting to bleed a bit. She's a week and three days.

ahhhh(:

and thankkk youuu . her bleeds a little on her diaper now but i tried folding it was down now and put gauze on it !! yes it usually falls off 7 to ten days my baby is 9 days old today ♡♡ @ginabee93 you had ur baby on the 22nd ??

Hers bleeds only a little too, I'll see blood on her diaper, as I fold them down too, to avoid excess pressure on the belly button. I did, she came before her due date. Fine by me I was way to uncomfortable being that pregnant!

well does it bleed everydayy ? my babys is still bleeding a little but looking like its about to fall off ! and i was uncomforable to but i had a c section soo im recovering !@ginabee93

It bleeds very little, no matter how far down I fold her diapers they still manage to press up against her belly button. It's loose in the belly button hike because it rotates so I'm pretty sure hers is about to fall off as well.

i think my babys is about to fall off to its barley hanging on . does the blood get on her clothes ?@ginabee93

It's gotten on a onesie, and a night gown. I soaked them in oxi clean, and scrubbed the blood out. I put a gauze pad over it for now, because we're heading to the airport and I don't just want her in a diaper.

my babys is about off jus holding by a little sting !!! @ginabee93

Is it healed underneath?

it finally fell off looks good (:
