A. Discharge from the umbilical cord stump in a 50-day-old baby is not typical and may indicate an infection or another issue that requires medical attention. Normally, the umbilical cord stump falls off within the first 1-2 weeks after birth, and any remaining discharge should stop shortly thereafter. If there is still discharge at 50 days, it could be due to: 1. **Infection**: Redness, swelling, foul smell, or pus-like discharge can indicate an infection. 2. **Granuloma**: A small lump of tissue may form at the site, which can cause persistent discharge. 3. **Patent Urachus**: This is a rare condition where the tube connecting the bladder to the umbilicus remains open. ### What to Do: - **Consult a Pediatrician**: Immediate consultation with a pediatrician is crucial to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. - **Keep the Area Clean and Dry**: Continue to clean the area with mild soap and water, and keep it dry. ### When to Seek Immediate Help: - If the baby shows signs of fever, irritability, or if the area around the umbilicus becomes very red and swollen. - If the discharge is persistent, foul-smelling, or bloody. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, please visit your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
