Hi

Luxxe is nearly 4 weeks old and her umbilical cord scab still hasn't fallen off and is a bit weepy/pussy/bloody.

The midwife reckons that it might be becuase they tried to put an IV line into her belly button and that the wound from that still might be healing and to go see a Dr

went to see a paediatrician and he gaveme some antibiotic cream to put on under the scab.

it's still pretty gross and weepy and I'm just wanting it to come off because then the stump thingy underneath should dry out and heal

going back to the Dr tonight

Does anyone else have any similar experience or know about the physiology of the belly button?!!?


thanks!

Laura
