Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI can understand your concern for your babies one inch long umbilical cord. Dear, though long umbilical cord looks odd . Not very many people have it but as long as, it is not troubling your baby in her normal activities, has no pain pressing it, you need not worry. With the time it may shrink on its own. If you wish you can show to surgeon if anything can be done In my opinion there is no cause of concern .HOPE THIS HELPS SOLVE YOUR QUERY Take care All the best. Don't hesitate for further query if any
