Good morning!
My 2 year old this morning seems to suddenly have an outie after having an innie for his whole life! Has this happened to anyone else?
I've felt around and there's no hernia type thing that I can tell, no additional lump or anything it's just his navel but it has definitely popped out. It's even pink pink like unexposed baby skin.
Is this a hernia? Do innies become outies sometimes?
Thanks!
I took him to the doctor (I asked on here because they weren't open for about another hour) and sure enough he has a very small umbilical hernia. It doesn't require surgery at this point, unless it gets worse but she thinks he probably got it from coughing!
I would call the pediatricians office and let them know. I would make sure that it is not a hernia. The doctors office can make this determination, not you or I. I would be concerned too. Good luck
I agree call the doctor.
Could definitely be a hernia of some sort...call the doctor this morning.
The first thing comes to mind is that it is an umbilical hernia. Get it checked.
Hi jessica-
I know my 'innie' became an 'outie' during pregnancy...so I just took it as an opportunity to clean it out! lol
I would give the doc a call thogh...just to be sure!
Best luck!
