How soon? FTM

Question

How soon after baby was born did the rest of his/her umbilical cord fall off? YES I know not to mess with it and to leave it alone I’m just curious so please don’t lecture me.

Answer

At 5 days old. 
Luckily it happened at the pediatricians office so I could have them check it. They said it looked great. It healed fine without me having to do anything special to it.

Answer

I think my son’s took about a week and a half, close to two weeks. His circumcision healed before his belly button.

Answer

my daughter's fell off on its own at 3.5 days old. I know bc we were back in the hospital for jaundice and when I found it floating around in her shirt I was like "oh shit, I never even figured out how to care for that" when I told our night shift nurse, she said it was a good luck sign to fall off early. 🤷

Answer

My little mans got stuck to a burp rag and pulled off around 2wks. Luckily my sister in law that's a labor and delivery nurse was over and said it looked good even though it bled a bit. My husband's face was priceless!

Answer

My babies lost theirs around a week. My brother's was at 3 weeks, but his had been infected, so that may have changed timing.
