dear concerned mother its umbilical hernia usually babies have it but it will itself resolve around 1-2yrs of time duration nothing to worry about just watch for any danger sign like swelling not going back or it changes colour etc.

Yes it is umbilical hernia...if it persists beyond the age of 1 year then it needs surgery...Secondly if you noticed other swelling in the groin area then you should consult pediatric surgeon and get him examined.

this is umbilical hernia, we usually wait upto one year or in case of emergency if it gets stuck at any time...but I am talking about other swelling you told that you noticed beside the genitalia
