My son's cord stump came off all in one piece, during a diaper change, just past 2weeks of age and looked (and smelled!) a lot like you are describing for a few days prior to that. Our ped applied some silver nitrate at our two week appt and the stump fell off the following day. It looked pale yellow and shiny underneath but closed up (?) within a day or so. Hope this helps!

2.5 weeks. The majority came off at one time but it was a bit yellow and wet underneath. It dried up in a day or two. There was no stink that I noticed and we just let it air out.

DS's fell off within a week, in one piece. It was kind of gross and oozed for a couple days afterwards.

I went back and checked my diary, LO's stump fell off at exactly 2 weeks old. It came off in one piece, and was mostly dry, and had been hanging by a thread for a day or 2. It wasn't oozing, but his belly button seemed puffy or inflamed for a while before going down. We were told not to use alcohol, as that is more inflaming.

L's fell off around 17 days. It came off in one piece. It never smelled, but it looked a little funky for a few days after it fell off.

Just over 2 weeks for DS. It dried up and never got as brown as I remember seeing others. We could tell it was coming loose then it just fell out of his onesie during a diaper change.

It fell off at 4 days old, except for a tiny piece which hung around for maybe 2 more days, I don't remember it smelling but I do remember that my friends DS cord stump smelled very gross before it fell off.

Probably around 1.5 weeks? I don't remember now. It fell off as one piece over night, I found it in her sleeper in the morning when I did a diaper change. It was yellowish and raw looking where it came off but dried up within the same day or so? It didn't smell and we didn't do anything special besides gently wipe it during bath.
