Is this normal?

Question

My son just turned 2 months and what we thought was just and outtie belly button, has gotten worse. It’s protruding out and I’m not sure if this is normal. I plan on calling the pediatrician first thing in the morning but I’m so nervous something is wrong. He doesn’t seem to be in pain or anything.

Answer

Umbilical hernia! My daughter has one too. Dr said it’s nothing to worry about unless it doesn’t go away when she’s about 4. I had one too

Answer

If you’re able to push it in, it’s an hernia. My son currently has one now & it’s slowly going down.

Answer

Not normal but common. Nothing to be worried about. It usually corrects itself - my daughter has one too.

Answer

Definitely a hernia. Give the pediatrician a call

Answer

Umbilical hernia. Totally common. As long as it goes back in and stays soft and not red, it’s nothing to worry about. We don’t close them before age 3 because some will close on their own 😃 (I work for a pediatric surgeon).
