Bellybutton - Cord growing back

[FebMum2Be]

The health visitor was out 2 weeks ago, Odhrans cord fell off around 10 days and was healing nicely.. But when HV was having a look she said she thought the cord was starting to grow back.. Said it was common and that if it did start growing again Odhrán would have it burnt off.. The little bit she was talking about has got a bit bigger (not huge, just bigger than it prev was..) Has anyone else had this done? I don't really like the thought of it being "burnt" off in my doctors surgery..

I've not heard of this but I'm sure it'll be ok hun

Was at HV on Tuesday and she is happy enough with it She said it looks fine, and isn't bad enough to be thinking of burning it off so it should just dry and fall off in time..

That's good hun. Just keep it mega dry to speed it up

Just keeping his vest unbuttoned and up... Maybe give the hairdryer a go later?

 

[Mervs Mum]

Yeah or rub a bit of sand on it.....

The hairdryer and sand have worked a treat Is drying up well and doctor is very pleased, I hadn't heard of it either tbh.. Nearly choked when I heard her saying so calmly.. "Oh if it doesn't heal it will just be burnt off"... PUNCH x
