When did your cord fall off?

So DD turns 4 weeks tomorrow and her cord is still attached well.  It looks fine with no puss, swelling, or foul smells.  I keep her in a onesie at all times and clean the cord with alcohol about 2-3 times a day.  

Do you think I should be concerned that it is still on at 4 weeks?

When did your LO's cord fall off?

    Two weeks or so.  I think it's worth a mention but certainly nothing to be too worried about.

    Hi fell off when he was close to a month. I think that as long as it's not infected it's fine.

    Teagan's fell off in 8 days which was significantly shorter than my other three.  This time I was instructed to not use alcohol as I did with my others and the cord fell off 2 weeks sooner.  GL.

    I'm kind of shocked that I don't remember!  I do remember that even after it fell off some was still there, and it was black and gooky.  I was afraid to try to clean it out, and it cleared itself up after a few baths.
