Umbilical cord
My baby is 12 days old and his umbilical cord is little move but completely didn't come out and there is light blood around the corners is it normal?
Sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks for the Umbilical cord to separate. As you said, it is coming off partly, it will separate in the next few days. So no need to worry.
You don’t need to apply anything to the cord. Just keep it clean and dry.
