My DD's cord fell off in the bath on Day 5 and she is now 3 weeks with a beautiful and clean belly button! It smelt really weird and was worrying us (almost made me gag, it was the most bizarre smell) but we went to the doctor on day 7 and he said it was perfectly normal and to just keep it clean because it may have a small amount of bleeding for a few days (I think it was about a week after that it was completely "normal" looking). If it isn't red and your DD doesn't seem concerned about it then it probably isn't something you need to be concerned about either but definitely bring it up with your doc on Thurs just to ease your mind -- he/she will probably check it out anyway
