POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. A bump near the belly button in a one-month-old baby can be common and may be due to a few reasons:
1. Umbilical Hernia: This is the most common cause of a bump near the belly button. It occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal muscles. It's usually soft, and you might notice it more when the baby cries or strains.
2. Umbilical Granuloma: After the umbilical cord falls off, sometimes a small growth can form at the site. This can look like a bump and may appear red or moist.
3. Infection: Although less common, an infection can cause swelling or a bump around the belly button area.
4. Normal Variations: Sometimes, the skin and tissue around the belly button may appear raised or irregular, which can be a normal variation.
It’s best to have a pediatrician evaluate the bump, especially if you notice any redness, discharge, or if the baby seems uncomfortable. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend treatment if necessary.
