A babys belly button, also known as the umbilicus, can occasionally bleed after the umbilical cord falls off. It is typically a normal and harmless process within the first few weeks of a babys life. However, suppose the bleeding persists or is accompanied by other symptoms. In that case, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider as it may indicate an underlying issue, such as an infection (3). Keeping the area clean and dry is also important to prevent further irritation and potential infection (6).
