Umbilical hernia in a two-month-old baby can be considered to be treated conservatively. Umbilical hernias may get better slowly as the child develops. How does an umbilical hernia form? It occurs when the umbilical ring does not close and the intestines protrude through the ring when the child cries, coughs, or when the abdominal pressure increases, and it can disappear slowly when the child is quiet. It is necessary to reduce the triggers for it to protrude, such as reducing the number of times the child cries, coughing, and increasing abdominal pressure, in order to minimize this back-and-forth friction and the number of times it protrudes. If there is more protrusion and you can’t get it back you need to consider a minor surgery to return the protrusion and close the umbilical ring. If it doesn’t clear up after 2 years of age, surgery is also indicated.
