Hi, momma! I totally get your concern. It’s common for some babies to take longer for their belly button to fully dry up, especially if it’s still a little moist around the stump area. Even though your baby’s stump fell off, the area can stay a bit damp for a while. Since your pedia checked it and said it’s normal with no smell, that’s a good sign. Just keep up the gentle cleaning with alcohol and keep the area dry. It may take a bit longer to fully heal, but as long as there’s no infection or odor, you’re on the right track. Patience, mama—every baby’s healing pace is different!
