traumatising for parents, really.
the baby book states that most cords will fall off by themselves between 6-10 days. some websites stated it can take as long as 3 weeks. parents said within a week.
not sure which to believe in and can only wait patiently/anxiously for it to fall off. but wormy is not helping by peeing on himselF when we changed his diapers for him. on the cord somemore!
:(
then the cord began oozing a little pus/blood and emitted a weird foul smell which the paediatrician (PD) assured is perfectly normal.
and FINALLY, it fell off and got stuck in wormy's top after his bath yesterday. it took all of FOURTEEN days for it to come off. hmm, and so ended the worrying ordeal.
my MIL insisted i kept the cord and though not keen, its now safely stored in a red packet waiting to be tossed out by me dont-know-when. :P
