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.
1 Keep the cord clean and dry until it falls off in 1- 3 weeks. 2  To clean the cord, dip a cotton swab in water, and gently clean the base of the cord. Dry with a clean cotton swab. Since there are no nerve endings in the cord, this does not hurt or sting.  Your baby may fuss because of the cooling effect on the tummy.
