Umbilical Cord

So my sons cord came off yesterday, but some of it stayed. Now it seems water is coming out of his belly button. Is this normal??

No, it sounds like it could be infected. You might need to call his pediatrician tomorrow or take him in.

If some of its still on it will leak and may not heal properly.. if it doesnt stop in a few days id take him to doctor and see if they need to remove the rest other then that just watch it and try not to worry
