Good day, we would like to know if theres any nead for concern if we blood is coming out of our baby's, a week old, naval and if this is normal or no?

Depends: It is relatively common to have some minor spotting as the stump separates from the core/body. You can speed the process by cleaning it out well with rubbing alcohol which helps it dry out. More than a little spotting of blood should be reported to the kids doc.
