rubbing alcohol will also dry it out you can get it at the pharmacy

thanks laura... i think i'd feel better with alcohol rather than betadine actually..........

use alco wipes on her belly button.also try nilstat for the thrush in her mouth you just put a drop in and then rise her mouth out with a few sips of water..

if her belly button still doesnt heal, maybe try seeing a new doctor..
or is it just scabby and still dried blood and the like?

thanks kellz

she is onto her 5th or 6th bottle of nilstat, i have lost count

i am also giving her a probiotic (fast track)

Kitt3n I'm not sure what the issue is with your DD's belly button because I haven't seen your other threads but my DD had a very moist belly button for a while that looked a bit inflamed. MCHN suspected granuloma but GP said no and just to keep it clean - with saline. Could that help?

curly, might give that one a shot too, thankyou
