Belly Button

LO's umbilical cord stump has not fallen off yet. His pedi said at his two week appt that it was fine that it was taking longer, just to keep it airing out, etc.  Well, now it is REALLY stinky.  I called yesterday and they said to just clean the base and that a slight odor was okay, to call if it got red around it or anything.  I feel like this smell can not be normal though.  Did this happen to your LO's?

    We used to wipe around the belly button with alcohol too. It helped dry it up. Also my mom said that when I was a baby towards the end my smelled really bad and it fell off not to long after that.
