Question for anyone who had a baby with an umbilical hernia....?!


Question: My baby was born with an umbilical hernia. His Dr. said if it does not go away by the time he is 1, they will operate. Well, he is 11 months old now and it is still there. When did your childs go away? If your child was operated on, please tell me about it! Thank you for all your help!

my daughter had an umbilical hernia, but it was sorted out on its own, the doctor gave me the same advice that your doctor gave you, I'm not sure now as its been almost 20 years but i think it had cleared by the time she was 1, and she didn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort from it

My brother had that. I believe it's pretty common in boys. He had an operation when he was about 5. You might want to check with the doctor because I think most say to wait until the child is 5. Of course, times are different now but I'd still check. Good luck.
