It did end up falling off a little earlier than it should have thanks to a diaper or something rubbing against it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265573 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 20:48:39 +0000 ldh112 2265573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two tops from the hospital and side snap tops I alternated with pants that I folded over at the waist to avoid rubbing against it. It didn't fall off for 10 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265290 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 15:25:47 +0000 Pumuckl 2265290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Side snap onesie and a normal outfit over it is what both of my kids wore in the beginning. I just made sure to fold over the diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265248 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:40:39 +0000 littlejoy 2265248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stayed home until it fell off (only on for 4 days), but we just used onesies ... it did weep a little bit, but I figured we were avoiding waistbands, and that was enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265243 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:35:18 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2265243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Side snaps and onesies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265238 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 14:32:35 +0000 MamaG 2265238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always a onesie or a sleeper.

Therefore, he wore the side snap tees until it fell off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dressing-the-umbilical-stump#post-2265119 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 13:02:36 +0000 lady baltimore 2265119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you dress LO until the umbilical stump fell off? Are two-piece outfits necessary? </p>
