Does this look infected? Baby had no temp( there’s no bad smell and doesn’t seem
to be bothering him, but not sure if infected or it’s irritation from nappy?

Best thing to do is check with Health visitor if you're worried and they will advise if you should get it checked out further

It doesn't look infected to me. What are you worried about?

As ever, if you're concerned, get it checked out properly. Baby should still be able to access midwifery support even if you've been discharged.

Baby looks small enough to still be under the care of the midwives - can you text them a picture? Or ring the clinic, I'm sure they'll take a look for you

I don't see anything that looks concerning, unless maybe the area around the stump is red and feels hot?
