How long did it take for your newborns’ umbilical cord to fall off? My baby is 2 weeks old tomorrow and he still has his cord. The health visitor said it might take longer because he had to take antibiotics for 5 days when he was born

Freddie was also on antibiotics and I think his took like 17 days! X
@liya.bowie, I was strep b positive and they were worried about infection so we were both on them for 24 hours after x
3 days for Theo, 5 days for Aniela. I wouldn't worry if your midwife isn't concerned :) x

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:

My daughter was almost 2 weeks. The midwife was a bit worried and phoned me one day to check it had come off and literally I was in the middle of changing my daughter and it came off and I said well it's off now and she said okay thanks then hung up xxxx
