At almost 6 weeks old, does our baby girl have a medical condition related to her external umbilical cord?


Posted by tlmski

My babies belly button cord was a cut off once at birth and a second time by our pediatrician at 5 weeks as the cord was not falling off.  At this point (almost 6 weeks) it appears as if the remaining part of her belly button cord is still soft and not falling off.

Is there a medical condition that causes this?  Do you have any additional information, advice, etc. regarding the problem?
