Question: My baby is 15 days old and his navel just fell off two days ago but still today I can see little blood around his navel and it's smelly. Is it normal?
Answer: It takes time to get dry. U can do some home remedy for it. Take warm water and add rock salt to it n let it dissolve. Now u take a little cotton n dip it into the salt water and apply to the navel. Repeat this atleast 2 to 3 times a day. And continue daily unless n until it gets dry. By dng this it ll get dry very fast may be within 2 to 3 days. Hope it's helpful.
