My daughter is 1 week old and her belly button appears to be infected. Is it possible for me to send you a photo? What should I do?

If you see liquid coming out of your baby's belly button or if the area around it is red, it's important to consult a doctor immediately. Otherwise, you can simply clean the area carefully with a cotton swab during each bath and make sure the belly button is pointing upwards when you put on the diaper to prevent it from getting caught.
