When does a baby's navel fall off?

Neonatal umbilical cord shedding, generally in 3-7 days after birth, umbilical cord stump will fall off, a few days after falling off will be completely healed. But each baby's situation is different, some ten days will fall off, some may be as long as a month, during the umbilical cord shedding, pay attention to the disinfection of the skin around the umbilicus to prevent infection. If the umbilical cord still does not fall off after a week, it needs to be disinfected 1-2 times a day. When the umbilical cord is disinfected, the umbilical scab should be pulled up and disinfected in the umbilical fossa to ensure that the disinfection range covers all areas as much as possible. Keep the umbilical clean and dry to prevent infection caused by improper care. If the umbilical cord falls off late, sometimes it needs to be due to congenital thyroid function reduction.
