concerned about Bellybutton
My Daughter is 8 months and recently we have noticed that her belly button is protruding quite a bit, im not sure if its an outtie belly button as i have never seen one before but she wasnt born with a outtie belly button and like i said its only recently become like this. Is this something that i should be concerned about? - Could something be wrong? - any help would be grateful!

Is her tummy hard, or does there feel like there is anything behind it? Don't know if constipation could cause this?
Not sure if this is any help, but my DD's belly button has protuded since birth, and looks like a cherry (not in colour but in shape) - it is perfectly round, almost like a round circle of skin sitting where the belly button should be!!!!!
It didn't bother me at first but does now, especially when I say my other friends babies and they have "perfect" belly buttons!!!!
I mentioned it to the HV, as I was worried it might be a hernia, who said when she cries if it "throbs" then it is a hernia but if it doesn't then that's just her belly button.....well it doesn't throb so sadly it's just one of those things.
Suppose my baby can't be perfect eveywhere!!!!
