Wait for couple of days, don't disturb the area. If any infection is there it will be healed by antibiotic moxikind. (Infection, if any will cause redness and swelling around umbilical area). If bleeding is spontaneous and persistent beyond four five days, we may have to rule out bleeding disorder. In full term healthy newborn I prefer to prescribe only vitamin D 3 drops 400 iu per day and nothing else as supplement.

Moxkind CV is antibiotic which is prescribed for infection. It is a matter of examination which has been done by your doctor. Since you are tensed, it is advisable to take 2nd opinion in person.

Moxikind cv should be prescribed for features suggestive of umbilical infection or omphalitis in which symptoms are foul smelling or pus discharge from umbilicus/redness around umbilical area. Your baby has 2 episodes of blood discharge which can be manifestation of classical vitamin k deficiency. If your baby is not injected with vitamin k at birth, than should receive 1 mg vitamin k intramuscular injection.
