Pus discharge from baby belly button
Hello doctor
My baby is 11 days old. His umbilical cord falls out on day 7. Today I see light pus discharge from his belly button. We are applying neosporin powder on that from today morning as suggested by doctor earlier. Is pus discharge normal? Or should I consult my doctor.
