@adri8192, it just doesn’t sound like good advice to me. But doctors > people on the Internet I guess lol

@scx thats my daughter's dr told me to do when she was in the nicu

Update: Went to urgent care. They told me what he has is called umbilical cord granuloma and they put silver nitrate on it and it should fall off on its own.

Thank you ladies for the response 😍

- Looks infected, possibly herniated.. If he doesn’t have a fever, I personally would wait till tomorrow.. of course it’s up to you.. maybe just wash with soap and water ..

Take the baby in for an appointment as soon as possible. It looks to be infected to me. Maybe a little dry blood around is fine but this is not that. There way more going on and it doesn’t look ok to me.

It looks infected honestly. Please don’t use rubbing alcohol on it. Make a doctors appointment. Keep track of how he’s feeling if he’s acting different just in case.

Ummm I’m no expert but I don’t think you should use rubbing alcohol. that would hurt the baby. Maybe you should take him in to get it checked, it looks a little off

yeah my baby hers was the same way when hers fell off. so just use rubbing alcohol and q-tips

In May

when did baby's umbilical cord fall off

thats nothing to worry about its normal just clean it with rubbing alcohol every day
