Hey Maz, thanks for the advice. I am putting sterile absorbant pads on it twice a day to soak up the ooze, and my Ob said not to put betadeine on it (not sure as I thought it would help dry it out). What is gawn though? I'm trying to get some air to it when I can, but with a newborn, 2 and 4 year old, lying around on my back for a couple of minutes is asking for trouble!
This is the only thing which is holding me back at the moment. We have a healthy bub, DH is home on holidays for 3 weeks and the older 2 kids are doing OK, so I really want this fixed ASAP.
