Has the umbilical cord fallen off completely yet? If you are concerned and the redness turns into a rash, with an odor, it is infected. Contact your doctor.
I would try to put some baby powder on it and allow him to sit in just a diaper in the house so that nothing is rubbing against it. Make sure there are no cuts or other irritations. If there is any puss or ooze, contact the doctor immediately.

H emay be sleeping on top o fit or scratching it. It;s probnley a natural reaction to something like that.
If it doesn;t recover see a doctor.
