Q: My babys umlicial stump has fallen off, but there is little bleeding what should I do, how to take care of that area.
A:Slight bleeding is not uncommon. Gently press the area. This will stop the bleeding. Clean the stump with a little surgical spirit or an after shave lotion using a cotton bud. Dust some Neosporin powder after that.
