    Infected Navel

    Hi all This is my little 5 day old baby, he hatched with a not fully absorbed yolk sack and had been getting stronger each day! I'm a bit concerned about the stomach it seems to swell quite a bit before he poops and I'm also not sure if the navel is infected? Any advice for this baby
