At one of his appointments, the remainder of it was there. The peds cleaned it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-stump#post-562290 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:51:20 +0000 purrpletulips 562290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't but DS helped his fall off at barely 1 week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-stump#post-562283 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:48:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 562283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because my LO's took for-ev-er to come off (almost 3 weeks!), I helped it along at the very very end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbilical-stump#post-562282 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:48:22 +0000 pl0508 562282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omg!

I didn't on purpose, but accidentally kept bumping it and it fell off too soon.
