Belly button after stump

What does the belly button look like after stump falls off? Cometly closed ip or still healing/ dried out? My LOs fell off last night and it still looks open and has that puss look inside. Seems like it fell off too early.

    DD's was full of puss and gross after. Apparently, her umbilical cord was regrowing and she had to have a procedure done in the doc's office to stop it from regrowing. However, he said this is rare, so yours is probably okay.

    Ours was a bit goopy for a few days. Just keep it clean and dry. We even used a hairdryer to keep it dry.

    DS's was also goopy and there was slight discharge for a couple of weeks or so.

    After his stump fell off there was still a little bit left stuck in his belly button but the pedi squeezed it out(so gross) and it was fine after that. No puss or anything.

    I was surprised - hers was a little pink for a couple of days, and then it healed up beautifully. She never had any puss or goopyness (new word??) or anything.
