Is this something that i should deal with, or will it fall off on its own?

I would leave it alone.  They usually fall off on their own and looking at the area where the cord is attached it looks good.  No swelling or redness.  Are you nursing them without a mamma?  It is normal to see a cord on for awhile longer since momma usually takes care of it herself.  I would worry more about causing an infection if you remove it.    I am sure someone with more experience will post soon.
