His belly button fell off pretty early; after 5 days. Finn's fell off that early too. Once we were sure his little naval was healed, we gave him a bath to scrub off any residual birth goo. At first he seemed to enjoy the warm water. I kept my hands on him to keep him steady. He just layed there and looked around. That changed when I started washing him. He didn't care for that. I moved as quickly as possible.
