As the title says my little one is 17 days old and the cord is still attached and very smelly. I've cleaned it with water and cotton wool and patted it dry which was the advice when I phoned the midwife.
It's a little gunky but not like puss so don't know if it's infected or just slow to fall off.
I've attached a photo so you can advise if it's normal as I'm a first time mum!
Thanks in advance x
