If your baby's belly button is red and has a little bit of pus, it may be a sign of infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene by gently cleaning the area as you have been doing since birth. You can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic cream like Polysporin three times a day. If there is no improvement by Tuesday or if the infection seems to be getting worse, it is best to consult a pediatrician promptly. It's always better to be cautious when it comes to your baby's health.
