I think she was about a week old but I think I pulled most of it off by accident when changing her onsie..She had a bunch still in her belly button that has slowly worked its way off..now theres only one tiny piece left inside..

Around 3 wks.  It was a little loose and bled a little when we bathed her and then one day DH was changing her and it came off.  I was relieved! but it took another couple of weeks to heal up to a point where it looks nice.

I think it was around 10 days for Lucas and 13 days for Elena.

DD's came off at 9 days.DS's was barely hanging on at 12 days. He had a pedi appointment and they put something on it to freeze it off.

Day 4, w/o using anything

About 10 days. It was mostly coming off on it's own but I think her pajamas pulled it off. She had a scab and when the doctor cleaned it at her 2 week appointment she took the scab off as well.

11 days

It took about 3 weeks.

at 3 weeks it still  hadn't fallen off and we were using alcohol twice a day, so the pedi put silver nitrate on it and it came off a day later.

My LO's fell off at day 12... his cord was clamped really short, so it dried out very quickly. Don't worry, it will come soon!

18 days.  I was so excited to be able to give him a bath, he loves it!

10 days. I think the alcohol helped.

One week. I was using alcohol twice a day.

It was also REALLY hot last week and we don't have AC so I had him in just his diaper and one of those button across the chest shirts (not a onesie). I also had him outside in the mornings before it got too hot like that so I think the warm weather and lots of air dried it out.

Two weeks. . . both kids.

Dr.Loretta

She was almost 3 weeks before it finally came off. It was odd seeing a real live belly button after all that time.

Just last night. I went to unswaddle her to change her diaper and there was the stump lying in her swaddle blanket. It took DD#1's almost a whole month to fall off!

 ETA: We didn't use alcohol this time, but with dd#1 we did and it hung on for longer.

About 3 1/2 weeks. We thought it would never come off.

Last night.

It fell off at 6 days, but it was a teeny tiny wimpy cord according to the dr. It took probably a week and a half to heal completely.

LO is 8 weeks tomorrow and it still hasn't fallen off. The pedi says it is just fine and that it will fall off when it is ready. It is loose so I thing that should be soon.
