Ds is two weeks old now and his cord has still not fallen off

Is that something to worry about or not?

No, I don't think so. DDs hung around for a while. I can't remember how long now by longer than the boys.

Nah - DS's was about 20 days IIRC.

OMG QPH...that made me feel sick!

sounds normal to me Em, ds3's was there are ages....disgusting smell IIRC

DSs was there for about 2 weeks. The MW said that as long as it didn't smell or look infected, it wasn't a problem but to keep it dry. I found that it would look as though it was coming off, then after his bath, it'd look as though it wasn't. So after 2 weeks, I just sponged him down instead of bathing him, and then it came off. Don't know if it was connected.

DD's didn't fall off till day 20. MW said she was a typical Aberdonian and didn't want to let it go!!!! (we're known for being a touch on the grippy side!)

my dd had hers for 2 weeks till fell off

It's come off now - thank God, it was starting to smell really horrible!

they are rank
