A member asked:
What should you do if your babys umbilical cord falls off one week sooner ?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Enjoy : There are some forms of treatment that can prolong cord stump attachment (triple dye).I use rubbing alcohol and expect stump separation in the first week.

Nothing: The sooner the cord falls off-the better. I wouldn't worry about this but i would keep the stump dry and clean.
