For those whose babies have arrived... Umbilical stump?

The other day I noticed a little blood from his stump. I figured his onesie was a bit snug & the stump got bumped or irritated. Has this happened to anyone else? It's been 9 days - I know usually the stump falls free after 2 weeks or so.

My babys doctor told me if it bleeds you should call his doctor.. the yellow stuff is normal just not blood. My baby boy is 7 days and has a habit of pulling it but it never bleed..
