It's normal. Talk to Ur pediatrician. I would wait until it drys out completely b4 U give the baby a bath though. What helped dry my babies stump was letting it get air (so we had him in a shirt/pants so the belly could get air).

Yes... It takes a while to drain... If there is redness or blood oozing out, then you should be worried... Wait until it's completely dry to bath the baby
