Give or take a day or so. I was actually surprise it fell off so early &amp; called the doc lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-the-umbilical-cord-fall-off#post-1853135 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:02:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1853135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seemed to hold on for 3 weeks w/ DD2, but only a week for DD1. I think the difference is that they said not to clean it this time (do we weren't messing w/ it as much?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-the-umbilical-cord-fall-off#post-1853127 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:59:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1853127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think right around a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-the-umbilical-cord-fall-off#post-1853126 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:58:54 +0000 Smurfette 1853126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-the-umbilical-cord-fall-off#post-1853089 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:43:28 +0000 regberadaisy 1853089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO 1 it fell off at 10 days.
