What Causes Lump On The Navel Of 16 Month Old?
I have a 16 mth old baby. He developed a bumb left of his bellybutton. I thought he was constipated and was massaging his lower intestines and he was crying. When I went to change him i found the lump. That was yesterday. Today it red the lump is harder than yesterday. He also had a bm this morning so I don t think its contipation. Can you shed some light on this. Hernia?

Hi, there can be lot of reasons for that bump... Since it is next to navel I doubt it to be a hernia. Secondly the redness and hardness is suggesting it to be more of an abcess... But everything is just based on imagination...since nothing is seen personally... So please go to your doctor and get things sorted.
