Any body have any experience with their babies having para umbilical hernia? As in an inflated belly button area? Advice?

No clue what would be done for it, but I believe one of my twins has one as well. We have an appt with the pediatrician next week and will discuss it then.

My little girl has one. I was told it should resolve itself by age 3-4 and just to watch for any signs of incarceration (ie: the hernia contents getting stuck and not going back into the abdomen). Our pedi is watching it and if complications occur or it doesn't resolve itself, surgery could be an option much further down the road.

My little sister was born with one. It didn't impact her at all, she had a surgery to correct it though at age 5.

Pediatrician just told us to watch it and it may resolve itself. If not he would have to have corrective surgery at four or five. I don't think there's anything you can do.

My 3yr old had one when she was a baby and it finally resolved itself by the time she was 2, it never caused us problems. This baby has one too, the dr says again it should go away by the time they are 3or4 if not they can fix it.
