Hi.. Check with your doctor.. It might be an undescended testicle which is seen as a lump.. In that case monitoring and if required surgical treatment may be necessary.. You have to see a doctor for evaluation...

it will be better to get a check up with paediatric surgeon . may be your baby is having some congenital hernia
clinical examination and a oroper diagnosis is must for treatment
