LO's stump fell off during our week in the hospital, so the nurses wrapped it in tissue and put it in the box for us. I didn't know what it was at first and opened it, then, saw the stump. My mom still has the same kind of box with my stump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-save-your-los-newborn-stump#post-770691 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:53:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 770691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt weird throwing part of her away, but it was gross so in the bin it went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-save-your-los-newborn-stump#post-770688 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:52:43 +0000 lilyann 770688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't save it...I was so relieved when it fell off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-save-your-los-newborn-stump#post-770687 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:52:37 +0000 yerpie110 770687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope it smelled gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-save-your-los-newborn-stump#post-770685 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:52:18 +0000 runsyellowlites 770685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm no. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-save-your-los-newborn-stump#post-770679 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:50:04 +0000 Running Elley 770679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saved it but I have NO idea why!!!
