A. umbilical hernia cannot be treated yourself and you should have regular follow up with your doctor and take a surgeon advise who can give you proper advice about that do not go for any home remedies as it may be infectious to the baby

A. If necessary, umbilical hernias can be treated with surgery to push the bulge back into place and strengthen the weakness in the abdominal wall. This operation may be recommended for your child if the hernia is large or hasn't disappeared by the time they reach 4 or 5 years old.There are no home treatments to "fix" an umbilical hernia without surgery.There is a good chance that your child's umbilical hernia will close on its own. Most of the time, a hernia that starts before 6 months of age will go away by 1 year of age. Your child may need surgery if the hernia is very large or if a hernia of any size has not gone away by age 5.
