Thank you for your query You have not mentioned your baby’s weight Also a picture would have been helpful Your baby probably has an umbilical hernia Umbilical hernias usually do not cause any health problem. Most of the time it will go away by 1 year of age. Please consult your Pediatrician if you still have any concerns
