Prior to what the pediatrician digging around it, it was attached firmly like it would never come off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154446 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:06:45 +0000 MsMini 154446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sawyers fell off on day 10, but still has some "sloughing" (blood on onesies etc), I would be a little concerned that it is still attached at 3 weeks, though if it looks healthy thats good. I hope that your Peds manipulation helps it loosen off soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154425 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:48:28 +0000 Mrsbells 154425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: yeah I think your right about why the doctor was digging around it.. i will just be so glad when it falls off!</p> <p>@artbee: yeah LO is much better now but still very subdued... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154390 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:12:24 +0000 heffalump 154390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, hope your LO is feeling better now! It took my LO's a while to fall out too, but eventually it did on it's own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154221 Thu, 10 May 2012 14:06:45 +0000 Mrsbells 154221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always though it would fall off around the 2 week mark but nope its still hanging on tight... I wonder if anyone elses pedi did something similar to their LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154218 Thu, 10 May 2012 14:05:16 +0000 LivsMama 154218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Livs fell off at day 8, but Im thinking maybe your doctor wanted to be sure that it wasnt just kinda "stuck" there with grime or something as opposed to still being attached. It sucks to see your baby in pain though, I feel you there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154201 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:54:40 +0000 chopsuey 154201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby! :( My LO's belly button fell off sometime between day 10-14.<br /> Not sure how necessary it was for your pediatrician to dig around her belly button.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-belly-button-issues#post-154152 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:20:45 +0000 Mrsbells 154152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my baby will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. her belly button stump is still attached. we went to see her pediatrician today and she said the stump seemed very attached, so she used some wooden stick thing to kinda dig around it and lift it up in an attempt to "help" it fall off. My baby was screaming her head off and seemed to be in a lot of pain. She cried for a long while afterwards and now is finally asleep. Did anyone else go through this. I just wonder if it was really necessary </p>
