umbilical cord
Just had my baby girl yesterday, 9 pouns 6oz her umbilical cord is bleeding is this normal?
Thank you so much!! Ya weve been cleaning it with alchihol amd it actually feel off while she waas sleeping day number 2. Doctor saidnits normal :(
I have five kids and that is normal. Just watch for the skin around it getting really red and leaking puss. It is being rubbed and that is why it is bleeding. Get diapers with cord cut out or fold the front of the diapers down and make sure baby wears a onesie. Keep it dry and clean it with alcohol a couple of times a day, I did mine at every diaper change. Try not to bump it or move it to much when you pick up baby and hold him against you...
Congratulations!!!! call the doctor or nurse's hotline just to be on the safe side....
Have you already left the hospital? Or did you deliver at home? I'm not really sure if it's normal
& make sure you keep the area as clean as possible please , ohh & make sure nothing touches it!
That happens , you just have to take alcohol & wipe around it . Use a cotton swab & do it .
