Belly button popping out?

Is this an umbilical hernia, or is this normal? Should I be concerned? My baby is 6 weeks old, and doesn’t have his next doctors appointment until may 10th. Should I bring him sooner? It’s worse when he is pushing to poop or crying (which he was in the photo), but even when he’s not, it’s popping out a bit.

My baby has the same issue. My pediatrician said it’s a small hernia that should resolve in 12 months, also said as long as it isn’t hard when you press on it then it’s fine.

Yes it is unfortunately it takes probably 6 months or a year for it Correct its ownself Which your pediatrician will let you know at your appointment
