Spinoff (sorta) to placenta teddy bear post

I know that some people save the piece of the umbilical cord that falls off the baby's belly button after a few weeks.  IMO this is gross.  What do you think?

I think ew! I pray DH is home to throw it out when it falls out so I don't have to touch it. Remember Miranda & the cat fiasco in SATC?

Not for me. I don't keep body parts, fluids, etc.

I used to think all that stuff was completely gross until my DD's umbilical stump fell off and I couldn't bear to throw it away. I still have it Chat Icon

Ew, friggin gross.

That's as equally gross as saving the baby's first poop or snot.

I've heard of some people burying it underneath a newly planted tree. Giving life to the tree so to speak.

For us, it fell off in the diaper, I looked at it, showed DH and in the garbage it went.

I did not save DD's. I kind of felt bad about throwing it out, but it is just a scab and I could not see a reason to keep it.
