My daughter is 5 days old and her cord is bleeding. It also has this horrible smell but when she went to the doctor yesterday she said the bleeding was fine but I didn't have a smell yesterday. Should be concerned? How can I get it to dry out so it can heal? She told me to use alcohol swabs or a qtip with alcohol to clean it but I'm scared with her being so young because Ik it will burn.
Alcohol is what's best. Not too often but like in the morning or after a bath for sure once or twice a day. My babies fell off 9 days after birth
