1. That's normal. Just continue to keep it clean with some alcohol swabs until the bleeding stops. If it continues beyond a few days or gets worse, take the baby to the doctor. That may be a sign of infection.
2. there may have been some trapped blood beneath the cord that is coming out now, you may also see some yellow or green stuff come out of the site, if it starts profusely bleeding or keeps bleeding for several days call you doctor
3. That's normal, My Daughters bled a little at bath time for a couple of days. Midwife told us only to use warm water on a cotton ball, she said never to use metho or anything like that.
4. It took my daughter about a week to stop bleeding after hers fell off. As long as its not a ton of blood, she's fine.
5. call your docters office. thats what they are there for. they will tell you over the phone. you will probably get his nurse or she will call you back. They are paid for this. call them so you can relax a little.
6. yes just use alchol to clean it out i cleaned it every diaper change but i cannot stand the sight of blood
