Umbilical Redness
My baby boy is 4.5 months old and weighs about 7kgs. His navel seems red around the ring and there is some moisture. After applying cutisoft cream it became normal but again there is redness and moisture. Flutivate cream also worked. But again after a couple of weeks it became red and moisture recurred.
