It's not gotten worse but I called my doctor and they wanted me to come in to be sure. Turns out she had a umbilical granuloma and needed silver nitrate to help it heal and dry out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-babys-umbilical-cord-normal#post-2894254 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 04:04:44 +0000 cyoung 2894254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much ladies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-babys-umbilical-cord-normal#post-2894251 Mon, 12 Aug 2019 00:26:06 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2894251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks normal to me. That will all dry up soon. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-babys-umbilical-cord-normal#post-2894247 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 22:43:36 +0000 bhbee 2894247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last baby had a majorly goopy one. It seemed like it took forever to dry up since it fell off a bit early I think. And yes it had a gross smell at times. So I’d say fine for now and you can always call to ask if they have advice on drying it up (I think we just waited it out but I remember it getting on all her clothes!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-babys-umbilical-cord-normal#post-2894246 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 22:35:01 +0000 macintosh 2894246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what i remember, that looks and sounds pretty normal to me. I’d watch for anything that looks red or is warm to the touch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-babys-umbilical-cord-normal#post-2894241 Sun, 11 Aug 2019 22:17:22 +0000 cyoung 2894241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's late so I can't call my pediatrician but my babies cord is starting to come off. I noticed underneath it looks kinds goopy and yellow. She has no fever and I'd eating well. It only has a slight smell if you get super super close to it but it's hardly there. </p> [attach=9403/19/pw3tbc.450x600.20190811_221929.jpg] [attach=9403/19/pw3tbd.450x600.20190811_221915.jpg]
