DD2 will be 2 weeks tomorrow. Have had her belly button "checked" at midwife appointments and by the doctor at the hospital as I wasn't sure it was healing properly. Not once did they actually check properly and just assumed I was being paranoid (which I might still be!) but now it stinks - of fishy sort of smell. I guess this means it is infected?
How urgently do I need to get it seen to? I am pretty sure GP is closed this afternoon - but will obviously check. She isn't actually registered either but I am assuming they will still see her? We have been discharged from midwives and haven't yet been in contact with HV (waiting for them to phone).
?
Thanks in advance for any help.
