Yeah I would say so my girls looked like this and fell off on day 8 xx

I’m so glad you shared this. Ours is day 10 and is looking rather similar to this. Be interesting to see what people say.

Yes looks normal to me. But remember to leave it be.

Definitely normal :) my sons looked yucky, it looked pus’y, my HV said it was all normal even though I didn’t think it was because it was yyyyuck! But 8 weeks PP it’s completely healed and looks great. I’ve kinda learnt that “not normal” is normal 😅

My babygirl looked like this and it fell of within 3-4 days. So it seems very normal to me

Looks totally normally and I would say will come off in the next 2 days! Xx

It will smell really bad if it is infected

Thank you all I really appreciate it 🫶🏼

Absolutely normal

This looks OK don't clean it just leave it be and dry... when to worry is if the skin around the belly button is hot or red

Hi, yes looks normal to me. Might drop off soon if hasn’t already.
