The umbilical cord is typically tied about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the baby's abdomen. This distance helps ensure that there is enough length for the stump to remain safe and healthy while allowing for proper healing. After tying, the cord is then cut, and the remaining stump usually falls off within a couple of weeks.
