Umbilical problem

Ay, normal lang yan, mama! Sa navel ni Lo, dapat dry at dark ang stump, tapos walang redness around the base, yan ang good sign na healing properly. Usually nahuhulog lang ito within 7, 14 days, so don't worry. A little bit of dried blood or light bleeding when it's about to fall off ay totally normal din, parang scab lang talaga. Kung may foul smell, pus, or sobrang redness around it, that's when you need to call your doctor na. My neighbor brought her baby to the clinic kasi napakabahala siya sa bleeding, pero sabi ng doctor ay completely fine lang, it's just the cord doing its thing. Palaging ensure na dry lang siya at linisin with warm water kung needed. But since bawat baby different, better check with your pediatrician din para sure sa specific signs to watch out for, okay?
