Hello
After the umbilical cord falls off, there might be a small scab left in that area called granulation tissue,this heals in its own.
It’s normal to see a small amount of dried blood or slight yellowish discharge as it heals.
Keep the area clean and dry, allow exposure to air, keep diaper below the area
If the inner part turns bright pink or red visit the nearest Pediatrician-requires salt therapy
Next Steps
Continue breast feeding
Pat dry the area
Don’t apply anything over the area
