DS2 is two weeks old today. His cord stump fell off neatly and cleanly after about three days. Since then we've just been treating it like we did the other kids' belly buttons, that is, just washing gently in the bath, no soap or anything, just water.

For the last few days it has been bleeding. Is this common/normal? Not a great deal but enough that by morning it is crusty with dried blood. I've been sitting a warm face washer on it while I change nappy to soften the crust then cleaning it as gently as I can. Second nappy change today (so after about two hours) it was crusty again.

Do I need to worry?

Not going back to MCHN til Thursday. She looked at it Friday gone and said it was fine.
