Does this look infected or like it is healing?

That doesn’t look right. Did they tell you to clean it with alcohol every time you changed his diaper

Yeah that doesn't look right. I'd take the baby in to get checked.

Take him to the e.r a.s.a.p!!

Definitely get him in to see his pedi today, that doesn’t seem right.

@damn.it.red, I got told not to touch it or get it wet or anything let it dry and fall off

@spenner23, well with both of my girls I was told to clean it with an alcohol swab after every diaper change. It’ll help dry it out. With my oldest the doctor had to put this silver shit on it to help it out. I can’t remember what it’s called.

@damn.it.red, okay do you know what they do if it is infected

@spenner23, no I don’t. But honestly I would rub some alcohol on it to help dry it up.

Not a lot just a little.

They’ll probably need to cauterize it, which is probably what @damn.it.red, is talking about! Silver nitrate. My daughter needed it done twice 🙄

@mommytok, is it painful for them

@spenner23, not at all! It just might stain the skin around it for awhile

@mommytok, that’s it. Forgive me. I have old kids.

@damn.it.red, do you remember if it stained your girl’s skin? My daughters belly button is stillll dark from it lol

@mommytok, I don’t think it stained her skin. She only had to have it done once. My youngest never had it done. But I was constantly cleaning hers with alcohol.

@damn.it.red, yeah I definitely will go nuts with alcohol for future kids lol. My daughters pedi office has their own urgent care so we went there to have it done and the guy was sloppy with it that’s probably why hers stained 🤦🏽‍♀️

@mommytok, why do they tell you not to use it now? I mean I used it for both of the girls. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@mommytok, what a douche. I hate sloppy doctors.

@mommytok, okay

@damn.it.red, ugh seriously 🙄 Idk why but they def should still tell everyone to use alcohol

@mommytok, exactly. I don’t see how it’s going to dry out without something actually fucking drying it out. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My other son I had no issues with left it and it fell off 5 days later

@damn.it.red My doctors with my babies have always told me to use alcohol.. But I have seen others say they were told not to.

@0814mja, mine did too. I don’t understand why some are told not to.

His was gooey like that and we were told it's normal. But the redness may be worrisome.

Id take him in. It kinda looks infected 😔

It fell off!!! 😁

Is not even red anymore I let him air out and lay down with no onesie and it dried and fell off!

@bcsweetie, me too I was nervous
