My 10-day-old baby seems to be in pain. While changing his last diaper, I noticed that his umbilical cord was almost completely detached. Is this normal?

It is not normal for a 10-day-old baby to have their umbilical cord almost completely detached. It is recommended to continue washing the umbilical area with soapy water during bath time and gently cleaning around the base with a cotton swab. If the baby is still in pain, it is important to figure out the source of the discomfort after the irritation has settled.
