Did anyone else's babies cord not come off by itself? If so what happened? On day 18 and it's still not off 🤔

It took ours 3 weeks, so don't worry! As long as there's no signs of infections, it's fine. We thought it was never gonna come off 😂 when it did finally go, there was a perfectly healed belly button 🥰

Mine took 5 weeks. Just watch for signs for infection (redness, pus, etc) but don’t pull it off! Call the HV if you’re worried, but mine told me that the longest she’d seen one attached was 8 weeks

My babies came off at 2 weeks. Just make sure you’re not getting it wet it takes longer to fall off if it gets wet
