Hi my baby is 11 weeks and I’ve seen in her belly button she’s got black bit. I could probably pick it out but I’m worried it will make her sore. Does anyone know what it is?
photos not the best sorry 🙈

Definitely don't pick at it. NB's are highly susceptible to infection. Just gently wash with unscented mild plain bar soap soap and keep dry and free from irritation, ie rubbing. Mention to your HV or GP if concerned or if area becomes hot, red, or swollen.
