2 weeks old and umbilical cord fell off today

Melia's umbilical cord fell off today.
Do I save it? throw it away?

there's still a tiny nub left of it in her belly button.

Re: 2 weeks old and umbilical cord fell off today

I threw my DD's away, it skeeved me out.

The little nub left is fine, DO NOT try to pull it off or anything. Did your ped. say when she would check it out?

My ped. wanted me cleaning it with alchol 2X a day.

We threw it out. Our ped told us to just wipe any discharge away with a soft cloth and not to use alcohol.

I tossed them. All it took was seeing my older's sister's in a baby book for me to confirm that was the right decision.

I have baby teeth but I'm not even so sure I should be saving those. If it falls off your body, it really should be garbage.Chat Icon
