Dodgy Calf

Just looking some opinions. Cow calved this morning, nothing unusual did it itself. Old cow this is her 10th calf and its bag is very low so thought better to give calf a hand, got it up and looks funny. This was about 6hrs later, legs bit bandy and as it was sucking noticed it was bleeding from its navel , this seemed to stop though. What do you think?

Have one similar, 3 dodgy legs! Fronts were knuckled over at start, now straightening (9 days old now) but stands bending at the knees at times.

As above, should resolve itself as he gets stronger.
