A. the child is having umbilical hernia which is very common in children and goes away by maximum 2 years of age. with growing agfe it regresses and goes inside it does not require any intervention or treatment before 2 years if it is non complicated. meet your doctor once who will tell you whether any intervention or wait and watch policy is required.

A. yes it will take 2 to three months to flattered the belly button completely. do not worry. just keep a check on weight gain and pee count of the baby..if the belly button looks bulges even after 2 months then show to the pediatrician once.
