POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. It sounds like your baby might have an umbilical hernia, which is a small bulge or loop near the navel. This happens when the abdominal muscles don’t close completely after birth, allowing some tissue or intestine to push through.
Is It Serious? Most umbilical hernias are harmless and close on their own by the time the child is 3-5 years old. If the hernia is soft, painless, and reduces when pressed, it’s usually not a major concern. However, if you notice pain, redness, swelling, or the bulge becoming hard and not going back in, it could indicate a complication like strangulation, which requires immediate medical attention. What to Do? Consult a pediatrician to confirm if it's an umbilical hernia. Avoid applying pressure or tying anything around the belly. If the hernia is large or doesn’t close by age 4-5, the doctor might recommend surgery.
Keep an eye on it, and if you notice any worrying signs, seek medical advice immediately.
