belly button popping out
Hi mommies, my lo's belly button is popping out quite badly, as per picture. My mom says its due to excessive crying. May i know if this is something i should bring her to pd to see? My lo has been crying alot
Can I suggest something very practical? Buy hospitalisation insurance first before you see any doctor. It looks like an umbilical hernia. Yes it pops out when baby is crying/straining, and should go back in when baby’s lying down and relaxed. It’ll usually resolve within the first year, but if it doesn’t, there’s a chance of needing surgery... So..just suggesting 1) buy insurance 2) monitor it. Makes sure it’s not painful to touch/the skin is becoming redder/blacker. Make sure that the lump can pop back in when baby’s relaxed. If not, go see a doctor. 3) you can let the doctor know at the next developmental assessment (buy insurance prior)
