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 the infant is in the first month of life, inspect the umbilical stump for bleeding, drainage, and odor. It should turn black, dry, and hard within a few days after birth and fall off in approximately 7 to 14 days. After the umbilical stump falls off, skin usually covers the area within 3 to 4 weeks. Look for abdominal movements that correspond with breathing.
