How long will it take for the belly button to heal?

During the first week after birth, the umbilical cord will dry up slowly and it will turn into a dry brown or black stump. The stump will slowly start coming off after 7-10 days and then finally come off altogether. The belly button that forms as a result will look like an open sore, but it will not look red or infected. The open sore of the belly button will heal slowly during the first 2-4 weeks after delivery and it should be healed completely by the time your baby turns 2 months old. Rarely, it may take longer than 2 months to close. It is best to allow the baby’s belly button to heal on its own. During the process of healing, it is quite normal to notice a little crust or dried blood on the stump. However, if your baby develops a fever or if the umbilical region: - Develops redness and swelling - Develops bleeding - Develops oozing of yellow-colored pus - Develops a foul-smelling discharge These are signs of infection and the baby should be brought to a doctor for consultation.

It usually will takes about a week or so to completely dry off and it will fall off on its own. Please do not pull if off as you might cause an infection. Also, it's important to note that it's best to only use boiled warm water (the nurses will emphasize on it) and not soapy water. My son's cord dropped off at about the 5th day, and I kept the area dry and clean. By the following week, it's looked pretty much okay.

A week or so. Depends on the baby and there’s a powder you can apply
