My son is 3 1/2 weeks old and his umbilical cord hasn't fallen off yet?
They told me at the hospital that it would fall off around 10 days.. He'll be a month old on the 14th. My daughter's fell off when she was 2 weeks old so I'm a little worried that his hasn't fallen off yet. Whenever I clean it with alcohol and a cotton ball there's always quite a bit of yellow liquid on the cotton ball. Is there anything wrong with him?

It should have fallen off by now. It sounds like its been kept too moist, and hasn't gotten enough air. My guess is that it's going to become, if it hasn't already, infected. Make an appointment to see your pediatrician ASAP.

It should be off, and the yellow stuff makes me think it might be infected. Pop him along to the doctors xx

Could be infected and therefore not drying up...
