So my son's umbilical cord fell off a few days ago and everything looked fine. Then, I'm guessing b/c of the diapers, his belly button started bleeding a little. Its not much and doesn't look too severe but its still a little scary. We have a doc's appt tomorrow, but has anyone had experience with this? Do we put a band-aid on it until tomorrow? First time mom here and freaking out!
Re: Bleeding belly button!
My kid has this too. We were just at the pedi yesterday for a checkup and he took a look.
He said it's fine and no big deal as long as it's not swelled up, red or infected.
He said it's really common if the cord falls off early which his did.
