My little girl has one. They said to just keep an eye on it and it should resolve itself. The health visitor thought it was getting bigger but I don't think it is. Her dad had one when he was born and his was corrected with surgery
My first child’s hernia went big and was much smaller about 6 months later
One of my twins does. Most go down by 1 year old but even if it hasn’t most surgeons won’t do anything until at least 3 as the few that haven’t gone by 1 stand a good chance of going by then It tends to be when they start sitting that they go as the muscles get stronger
My little girl has one, she’s nearly 10 weeks, the doctor at the 8 week check said it’s common but to go back if it’s still there at 6 months and start the process of being referred to have surgery to fix it once shes 1!
My 7 week old girl has one. Never knew anything about them or how common they were until now, I was worried at first. The doctor also advised that they usually resolve with in a year and if not a surgery can be done x
Yes my LG has one too! She’s 10 weeks old now, I think it’s maybe gotten slightly smaller but definitely still here. I’m not worried as I know it’s common and should resolve itself x
