When you notice a 2-year-old baby’s navel is protruding, it could be due to an umbilical hernia. It’s advisable to take the baby to a pediatric surgeon for a thorough examination. Depending on the situation, the doctor may suggest conservative treatment or surgery. Additionally, maintaining good personal and dietary hygiene for the baby, as well as ensuring regular bowel movements to reduce abdominal pressure, can aid in the recovery from an umbilical hernia.
