I thought it was never going to fall off. The pedi put some silver nitrate (or something, I don't quite remember) at the base of the stump to help dry it out and we were encouraged to bathe him and let it get wet to help as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209543 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 05:18:47 +0000 mynoahbear 209543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It fell off while we were still at the hospital, so sometime within the first 7 days. Japanese hospitals give you the stump in a tiny cedar box with baby's name, birthdate, weight, and hospital name on it, so you can keep it. DH was a little grossed out when he looked in the box and saw LO's stump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209528 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 01:47:04 +0000 loveisstrange 209528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 weeks exactly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209523 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 01:04:15 +0000 pinkcupcake 209523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At exactly two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209498 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 22:47:05 +0000 autumnlove 209498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209496 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 22:43:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 209496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 or 6 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-los-umbilical-cord-stump-fall-off#post-209495 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 22:38:47 +0000 lemondrop 209495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 days, I was hoping it would fall off on my husband's watch.
