Umbilic cord on newborn!


Question: Umbilic cord on newborn
My son is 16 day's old and on his 2 week visit the doctor cut his cord flat because he said if it was to rip off he could bleed very bad so he cut it off and froze off the blood vessels or something!. Anyways the cord fell off today but I see something that looks like a tiny bit of cord left inside will it come out soon or is that even normal for al ittle bit to still be in there!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
itll dry off!. if you are concerned clean it with hydrogen peroxide once a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep using the alcohol swabs to get the rest dried out!. Keep diaper tucked down off of it!. Don't do a tub bath yet-try to keep the umbilical area dry until it is all healed up!. It sounds like a normal variation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It will eventually come out one its own!. Probably in a bath or something like that!.
