umbilical cord...

My babys cord is so smelly and has some redness he is 7 days old.. Midwife says nothin to worry about got him checkd at the hospital but i am worried especially because the smell is strong :frowning: anyone else go through this?

Re: umbilical cord...

Stinky but normal. It should be falling off within a week or so now! As long as there is no discharge, no worries!

Thanks gtg!! It fell off phew :D
