It happens: The blood vessels that are part of the cord were the blood supply for baby. Occasionally the cord separation is delayed and or there may be persistent leaking at the site. I routinely cauterized these in the office with silver nitrate, which stops all bleeding & speeds up healing. Wiping the area down with rubbing alcohol & blowing it dry can help in the short term.

My baby is 2 weeks old. His belly button started to bleed. There was nothing earlier today only saw it now. The bleeding is not heavy. Should I be worried? I have cleaned it with surgical spirits every time I change his nappies.
