that happen to my first born but he was admitted for umbilical sepsis no matter how clean I kept it and I suffer from OCD it got infected. he last 9 days on antibiotics he was 3 weeks old

welcome 😊 hopefully it's gone by next week

@jjsmommyjj711, thank you! I'm calling the doctor when they open to ask about it

I believe that's normal jj had a little discharge too just keep it clean and take him to the doctors if it's like he probably will only need one or two treatments

@jjsmommyjj711, should I be worried if it has yellowish gunk caked around it? it isn't a lot, but it's noticeable when you change his clothes or something. that's the only reason I noticed it, I was cleaning it today after realizing there was stuff in it and discovered it isn't sealed.

it might have fallen off early jj had his showing for like 2 months + because they would do silver nitrate treatments but never fully get it on the whole pice that needed to dry out..they did it like. 5 times and sent us to get an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't his bladder sticking out and we seem a dermatologist to make sure it wasn't anything else either. .it eventually dried up....and the silver nitrate stains
