LO2 had it on his and his pediatrician saw it and said all was normal. I'd keep an eye on the redness though. Make sure there's nothing to irritate it (choose clothes and fasten diapers carefully), no spreading and no warmth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinions-on-umbilical-area-after-stump#post-2121821 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 20:04:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 2121821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: agree about the tabs - I would definitely aim those down, they look like they are right in line to hit the stump area and aggrevate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinions-on-umbilical-area-after-stump#post-2121807 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:57:31 +0000 Phillybaby2013 2121807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys, my gut was telling me to call but I really wasn't sure if it was just irritated or something. </p> <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I tried to feel it and I couldn't tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinions-on-umbilical-area-after-stump#post-2121790 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:46:00 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2121790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call.

I aimed them down in a V shape when my dd still had her stump (she lost it at 20 days!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinions-on-umbilical-area-after-stump#post-2121769 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:34:02 +0000 youboots 2121769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id call, the redness concerns me a lot!!

I''d call - I don't remember what Lo's looked like either but it didn't look like that. Is that blood on the diaper or Elmo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinions-on-umbilical-area-after-stump#post-2121760 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:29:09 +0000 travellingbee 2121760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had some weird belly button issues after the stump came off and they had to cauterize it so it didn't get infected.

There is this weird skin peeling happening around the area and it just looks funky. I don't remember B's looking this way but I may just forget. I just had C at the Dr's last week bc his tear ducts are blocked (which I figured but wanted to confirm). There's alot of yucky viruses going around right now so I'm trying to avoid taking him out again if I just have new baby amnesia. Did anyone else's LO's umbilical area look like this or would you call the Dr? Thanks for your input. </p> [attach=2375/15/nlsmgj.337x600.20150325_192546.jpg]
