The doc said it would be 1-2 weeks. We're on 21 days. How long did it take for your LO's stump to fall off?

    My son is 26 days and his stump just fell off today. My DH found it stuck to his diaper when he was changing him. DH made fun of me for crying. Sad

    LO is 25 days old and he still has his stump. He had an IV through it which can extend the length of time it's there. We're trying to get it to fall off (with the help of his care nurses) and we use an alcohol wipe at every care time or diaper change to help dry it out. His primary nurse said some can last for over a month.

    Just fell off today.  7  weeks Tongue Tied
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    A little less than 2 weeks. I accidentally caught it on a onsie, and it kind of ripped off, though. Tongue Tied It was pretty much hanging by a thread by that point anyway.

    About 30 days...and then only because it snagged on my shirt and ripped a little.  The doctor said just to put some polysporin on the scab and watch for infection, otherwise not to worry that it took so long.  Although I just realized the other day that deep inside her bellybutton (sort of hidden by her tummy skin) there is still a piece of dried out cord hanging on for dear life, and she is 7 weeks old.  We've been giving her real baths for weeks now--oops.  I guess I'll ask the ped about it next week.
