Hello
Umbilical area takes about on week for fully dry up.
Keep it clean with antiseptic solutions mixed with water and then apply antibiotics powder over it.
Please keep the area dry during bath also.
If blood is coming frequently, then consult your doctor or online consultation.
Take care.

This is quite a common problem. Keep the area clean with betadine ointment. It should heal in a few days
