Bright red belly button - what to do?
Help - not sure what to do about this one. After drying DS off tonight after his bath, I noticed that his belly button is bright red. It LOOKS painful, but he seems fine. It didn't seem to bother him when I touched it, and it's not seeping or anything - just red. So I folded down the top of his diaper so it wouldn't be touching it, and got him dressed for bed.
He's been really fussy the past couple days, but I chalked it up to teething. He has no other redness anywhere, and he was giggling before bedtime, so he doesn't seem to be in pain. This has never happened before.
Has this happened to anyone before? DH and I decided to wait and see how it looks in the morning, but I'm still a little worried.
TIA!
