#asktheexperts Hi, good morning doctor My baby is 12 days old and since 2 days he is crying while passing stool. Can you suggest anything? Also his cord fallen down after 9-10 days and is having blood around the same area. Please suggest something..

A. Hello! You need to understand that your child’s digestive system is still in the developing stage, and there can be some kind of discomfort initially when it comes to passing stools or urine. As long as the baby is taking feeds and gradually gaining weight, there shouldn’t be any problem. Pertaining to the redness in the Naval area better to check with the doctor
