When I was at the hospital my nurse told me to stay away from Ryder's umbilical cord. She said to wash around it with warm water when I give him baths. Today I noticed a real foul odor coming from it so I got out my care package from the hospital. It says that if there is a real foul odor to call your healthcare provider right away. Do you think it is infected? I've done just what the nurse told me to do. I'm calling his doctor as soon as they open in the morning. I'm just wandering if it is something I'm doing? Or is it about to fall off? It is oozing a little but the book says that is normal. I just feel horrible if it is something that I'm doing or not doing. How can I help my little guy out?
