It's probably a piece of umbellical cord. Put in on damp newspaper without any object around it could get stuck to, actually just nothing but maybe a small waterbowl if it takes longer. You will be surprised how soon it will fall off. If you see egg yolk hanging out too, I would cut that off, below from where you see veins. I have seen that getting stuck to the paper towel, pulling out more stuff from the babies belly... yike!
I have noticed that sometimes the stuff will already come off when handling the baby to put it in the tub or trying to watch it closely, lol.

Don't have any newspaper around would wet damp plain paper towel work?

Thank you for helping me out. I hope it falls off soon. And hope that it's just part of the umbolical corn.

It's pretty reddish/pink and I don't see any veins. But hope that its the umbilical cord.

My damn camera ran out of batteries soo I will have to wait until they charge and until I get up out of bed to take pics of it to ost on here.
Probably the "egg stem." It will usually fall off after a day or two. I put them on damp paper towels. I had a _really_ bad (to me) one this year. (I showed it to Carol and she wasn't concerned at all!) It was quite thick and extensive. I snipped it off down to about 1/2 inch so it would not get caught on stuff. It gradually dried up and fell off, which took days!! After it was off, there was a sort of reddened area which closed up over the course of a few more days until now you can't tell at all.

But usually it falls off the next day, and you can't even feel any defect, much less see anything.

True true true.... I had the worst ever this year, looked like nothing had been absorbed and was scared it would pull the guts out of that tiny baby but after cutting it a bit, the rest fell off after like an hour or so.

Well, I got up not to long ago and checked on the little anery that had something sticking out of him, it's still conected to his private area, and he/she has turned a little mean/striky so I can't pick him up to get a better view of it. I hope he/she will be alright and calm down some after a day or two.
