Umbilical cord
My daughter is 9days old. Her umbilical cord has dropped. There is very mild foul smell in that region. Is that normal? Or Does it indicate any infection? Her CPR and CBC reports are normal. Please let me know what are the symptoms of umbilical cord infection and when to consult a doctor.
