Should baby go to doctor?

Question

My daughters 15 days old and her umbilical cord hasn’t fell off yet. I’ve been keeping it clean and dry too. She has Down syndrome but I doubt it affects when the cord falls off. Should I just give it another week? Or go to a doctor? With my sons who are 9,7, and 5 there’s fell off like 1 week after birth.

Answer

It will fall off when it’s ready to.

Answer

Ours took forever 😂 I think it finally fell off at like 3 weeks old! And there was still a piece that hadnt dried up and it took another couple weeks to go away. Now we’re waiting on her hernia to go away 😂

Answer

Thanks everyone! It fell off when I checked on her a few minute ago. She has a cough and now she gave it to me. We both have colds. Except I have a runny nose with mine

Answer

just give it time:)

Answer

It'll fall when it needs to, just keep it clean! So long as it doesn't have evidence of an infection, it's good

Answer

Bring it up to her dr.

Answer

The baby has a cold. She gave it to me. I hope it’s not the flu. My son had it a couple weeks ago. We’re going to the doctors today
