Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is not normal. Generally, a newborn's umbilical cord falls off about a week after birth. You can carefully observe if there is any discharge or infection at the umbilical cord attachment point. If there is anything abnormal, it is recommended that you take your baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up visit. The above is the advice for the question "Is it normal for my child's navel not to fall off at 21 days?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
