Question! My baby is 15 days old and her umbilical cord was having some discharge so I took her to the doctor and she said that there was a mild infection so she was given an antibiotic shot. Just not when I was cleaning it up the stump fell off and inside it looks like there is un healed flesh is this normal? Please help. I can post a picture of it helps.
@jacesterlingsmommy, thank you for responding I've been looking online like crazy and was freaking out.
My son's just fell off and his looked like that for a couple days. It just now looks better. It will keep drying up.
It's fine. my daughter's belly button looked fresh inside, but it went away on 3 days. I just kept the area clean and dry.
I was worried about it too hoping it didn't fall off too soon or get bumped off from holding him but it seems to be ok. It did have a tiny bit of goo like stuff on his onesie but that just stopped today actually. He didn't have any infection though.
