Usually average umbalical cord fall time is 7-10 days . Sometimes it last longer up to 3 weeks just observe the area if any redness ,pus or other sign of infection in baby  is there or not. Keep the area dry and outside of diaper. If last longer consult to near by doctor for further evaluation of baby. Neutrophil dysfunction can lead to delayed cord fall.
