Umbilical cord???

Question

My daughter is 9 days old and her umbilical cord fell out. Now I don’t remember what my 3 boys looked like. It’s been too long. Does this look okay?! I saw it not completely dried and kinda freaked me out. She has an appointment Tuesday but I’m thinking of calling tomorrow to see what the think. What do you guys think??

Answer

You shouldn't have to worry unless you are going to bathe the baby, my daughters fell off but there was still a little scab inside that hadn't fallen off yet. Doctor said it was ok to sponge bathe her but to not submerge it in water yet. ;) ask at the appointment

Answer

Looks normal to me once my daughters fell off it looked pretty similar I got told to just use a cotton tip with some sterilised water to clean it then pat dry. Good luck
