Belly button

It could be signs of an umbilical hernia. My son has one and I’ve seen both the GP and my private doctor and they both say not to worry and leave it as most babies have one and they clear up on their own. If they haven’t cleared up by the age of 5 then they will run some tests x

Oh right ok thank you she’s nearly three months is normally to just come out of no where? x

Yh looks like umbilical hernia, both my kids had these and went by 6-7 months. Just get gp to have a check, if its hard and doesnt go back in when you push it go to a&e also its 1 year they need it to be gone by otherwise they will monitor and maybe need surgery x

I never touched his because the thought of doing something wrong would freak me out. His came out of nowhere when he was a few weeks old, stayed ever since. Please just go to the GP and they can inspect it in person but don’t go poking around x

when your changing nappies ect you just have to make sure its still soft and goes flat when pressure is added, nothing you can do wrong. But if its hard and stays out and you dont notice it can be very very dangerous so always worth checking it x

For the meantime my GP told me to fold over his nappy like you did when the umbilical cord was still attached to avoid any friction and irritation 🩵

why what can happen?

if it cant be pushed in or its becomes hard, it can cause issues with bowl movements and eating as the hernia is the intestines pushing through the weaker muscles. They should of informed you that its really important to check all this it can result in surgery right away if you get any symptoms x

quick google search will give you all this information and more x
