Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern for your your baby's 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 any thing can be done
In my opinion there is no cause of concern .
