Bleeding belly button

My son in 3 weeks old and his belly button keeps bleeding. I never see it actually bleeding, but almost every time I change his diaper there's a dry blood on it. This morning it was pretty bright red. It's been like that for 2 weeks. I clean it and try to find where it is coming from but can't see anything wrong with it. No open wounds or anything like that. It's not swollen either or anything else. Should I be concerned. I emailed picture to my midwife but she has not go back to me yet.
Here's a picture of it: belly button

My baby's bled for a few weeks too and looked about the same as your guy's. If it's not smelling funky or oozing pus or anything it's probably okay.
my baby's was mildly pussy and didnt look completely healed and the ped recommended rubbing alcohol until it was compleltey healed

Ditto. That's how Julie was.
