DS is 4 1/2 weeks old, the midwife tugged his cord off about 3 days old and it got a bit yucky (i do belive thats the medical term ) Anyway i cleaned it regurly with cooled boiled water and it cleared up, now hes got something that looks like a pink worm sticking out of it! It was tine and the HV said it was just a bit of tissue that would dry up in a few days, it hasn't and it's getting bigger and bigger and quite purple. I have also found some yellow gunge in his nappy where it goes over his bellybutton sp i figure its leaking again.
He has a lump under the skin behind his bellybutton which bulges when he screams. He is really screaming in pain at night times to point he's turing blue, it is stomach ache as hes drawring his legs right up. Im not sure if it's colic or this BB button thing, i have been giving him Infacol religiously at every feed for several days and he does bring up wind not to badly so not sure what up!
