So, the only post-cord belly button I've seen is one like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1181186 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:44:59 +0000 Boheme 1181186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's was groooooss there for about a week. @ladybee: My baby's cord stub took 3 weeks to fall off! There's a huge range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1181160 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:39:39 +0000 swurlygurl 1181160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew, it was nasty for quite a while. Lots of gunk and odor. ::shiver:: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1180957 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:54:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1180957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's bled just a bit for a few days and it took a little while for everything to clear out. I also took a q-tip after a bath to clean it out and remove any loose dead blood in there. After a few weeks, it looked like a normal belly button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1180824 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:17:37 +0000 Bookish 1180824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely had some black gunk in there for a while. It took a few days for it to all wiggle loose and come out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1180820 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:06:50 +0000 Grace 1180820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It kinda looked like an outie. Apparently it retracts after the cord falls off. Now (7.5 weeks), it looks like a normal cute belly button. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1180804 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 05:13:28 +0000 ladybee 1180804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh our little one is 14 days old and still has his. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164739 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:52:14 +0000 mrsjyw 1164739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like PPs, there was extra fluid/blood/gunk in there a belly button a few days after? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164734 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:50:28 +0000 MrsF 1164734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little gunky. Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164700 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:32:55 +0000 swedishfish 1164700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: hahaha, I wanted to vomit. The smell was soooo bad.</p> <p>R's fell off at 8 days old and her belly button was half innie half outie for a while. It's finally an innie as of a few weeks ago. She'll be 17 weeks old tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164638 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:59:23 +0000 Ra 1164638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's also came out in pieces. He ended up having an umbilical granuloma and needed silver nitrate to clear it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164626 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:54:48 +0000 mediagirl 1164626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was black stuff in there still. I put some alcohol on a q-tip and was able to wiggle it out. And then I vomited over the grossness of it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164584 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:38:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1164584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: same. It also seemed to fall off in two pieces it fell off early (first week) so I think that's why it oozed so long. Ped had to put silver nitrate on it to help it close. </p> <p>Her belly button looks perfectly normal now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164572 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:35:48 +0000 hilsy85 1164572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His had some blackish gunk and bled a little bit. I didn't do anything to it, and the pedi cleaned it out with an alcohol swab at our next visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-los-cord-stub-falls-off#post-1164569 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:35:11 +0000 kjpugs 1164569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...what did it look like? I figured it would look like a belly button. DD's just fell off (6 days old) and it looks so weird. Still has what looks like more cord in there kind of? Calling the ped tmrw but thought I'd ask here too. </p>
