When Does Umbilical Cord Fall Off? After your baby is born, the umbilical stump usually dries up and falls off when your baby is about two weeks old. Two weeks isnât an exact number, some babies lose their stump as early as 7 days and as late as 21 days.
If an umbilical stump hasn't fallen off by the 2-week check-up, it should fall off between the 2-week and 4-week check-ups. The doctor can check it in the rare case that the stump is still attached at 4 weeks. If there is an odor, or some redness around the umbilicus, a doctor should examine it for infection.
