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.
Sinkkonen reviewed other studies of the umbilicus and essentially connected some dots. He notes that the umbilical cord is critical during pregnancy, and suggests that many problems can be reflected in scar tissue, which is essentially what's left behind as a belly button. I suggest that umbilicus is a fitness signal, Sinkkonen told LiveScience in an email. I may be wrong.
