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

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

3 days for Theo, 5 days for Aniela. I wouldn't worry if your midwife isn't concerned :) x
