my pedi. told its not a big problem its umblical hernia and too common . he told it will go in on its own and if not then after two years a minor surgery will do that....by the way its going little in i feel !!

Haha, it's nothing to worry about. My son has a cute little outtie belly button. I'd just ask about it in the baby's next check up if you're worried about it.

Yup they do look odd, but they will go away in time :)

My lil gal is 2 months old but she was born 6 weeks early so her corrected age is only one month old, my lil girl had herinas in her groin area also which were removed last week. they were going to remove the one in her belly but because it wasnt hurting her they just left it.. and happy to help any time

My lil one 7 weeks old has the same. I would only worry if it seems to be causing pain. My son had an outie at first but eventually it became an inny.

Anne, wouldnt worry to much unless u think it is hurting her, its probley a herina in the belly button which is commen in alot of babys my daughter has one and it dont seem to bother her... i notice it more when she crys but have spoken to my doctor and they dont normaly do anything about them unless it hurts if thats what it is, but if you are worried take her to the doctor
