Oliver's fell off within 5days..couldnt believe how quick! I found it in his nappy! It was already hanging off by the time he was 2days old! Doubt they usually come off so soon though xx

Lilia's took 6 days, was just sitting in her nappy! MW was happy that it has healed ok

Someone said on a bathing thread that you can only wash them in water and with cotton wool untill it falls off?

Nah, you're able to bath them. Kaya was bathed in the hospital by a midwife when it was sill attached.

Hannahs fell off at 5 days. Was changing her nnappy and it was there one second and off the next!

Usually it falls off between 10 to 14 days. Everyone is different, just make sure it is clean and dry. It will fall off when it is ready.
