    If this guy is in with another baby, you need to separate them cos someone is nursing on this guy. IF he is a singleton then he is nursing on himself. Put some antibiotic ointment on it and make sure he can pee out of it. They heal quickly but figure out how it happened and stop it. If he continues to have someone nursing him, he could get in real trouble, so the most important thing is to get this behavior stopped.

    Thank you, I put antibiotic ointment on it.. I will keep a close eye on him. He was in with another little guy younger them him, maybe he was trying to nurse off of him. I'll separate them, thank you!!
