Bellybutton question

okay so my LO's Bellybutton looks like the picture on the left (I guess it's an outie?) but today while changing her diaper I noticed that when she cries it pops up and I noticed it looked kind of dark so I took a better look and her belly button can actually Pop all the way out and it looks like the picture on the right. Is this normal???

Re: Bellybutton question

  • Take her to her doctor, but it is actually not uncommon for babies to get herniated belly buttons. In most cases it's very benign and will fix itself in a month or so. There is a small chance that it gets worse, so keep an eye on it and have the doc look at it.

    Whatever you do, don't Google it. I promise you that it will scare the shit out of you unnecessarily.

    I think that last paragraph should be used as a disclaimer for every potential health-related issue posted on here! Lol
