#asktheexpert My baby is 17days old, her umbilical stump fell down about 4days back. Sometimes I can see little blood stain on her clothes and there is a blood crust on her navel. During bath it goes away but then again a little bit of scab can be seen after a few hours. When will it stop? is this normal?
