Where's the emoticon of the smiley
barfing? All I can smell when I hold finn
is his belly button. I'm so grossed out
by it!
That's it, I just needed to share.

Yeah, it hasn't fallen off yet but it's
close. It just stinks really badly, which
i've read is completely normal.

I almost think it'd be weird if it didn't
smell, ya know? Like, oh no big deal,
it's not a dead piece of umbilical cord or
anything, of course it's not going to
smell bad! Lmao. How long does it take
for the little raisins to fall off?

From what i've read it takes 8-15 days, if
it's longer than 3 weeks call the
pediatrician. We're on day 8 now and it
just started smelling today (i just read
that it's from the good bacteria breaking
down the stump), i'm expecting it to fall
off within the next couple days, it's only
held on at the bottom ridge. It's really
gross though, where's that delicious new
baby smell?

Eeeek!! I mean, I could see how it could
stink if it got wet...But .Oni's didn't
have a smell. I kept it actaully. It's
in a little baggie wrapped up in
tissues.
I don't want to throw away the *1* thing
that had us as one!!
Call me weird....
Oni's was dangling off after about 10
days, so I just took it off. It was
literally hanging by nothing!!

.That's a really beautiful way of looking
at it, .Sarah.
I might steal that idea once mine is
born.

Aly's didn't stink either. I bathed her
with washcloths until it fell off, so it
never got wet.
I didn't keep it, though. I had always
planned to, but... It grossed me out.

Not all babies have an odor. I've
researched it because I was concerned at
first but it seems that a lot of stumps
that don't get swabbed with alcohol
develop an odor. An odor can also be a
sign of infection but stump infections are
rare and aside from the smell it's healing
nicely. I'm going to give it a few days
to fall off (it's so close!) and once it
falls off the smell should go away, if not
i'll call the doctor.
I've heard of people saving the stump, and
sarah, while what you said was beautiful,
I don't think I could save it. I'm so
grossed out by it!

You might call the dr on call and see if
it is supposed to have an odor, I have
known that some do and others do not and
see what he/she recommends cleaning it
with, my guess would be alchohol because
of the drying effect but doesn't it burn
him plus you may have a real sensitive
stomach but you don't want an infection
ther either or have your hubby talk to one
of the nurses about it, just to relieve
your mind. When do you see the dr again?
