First: Generally speaking, if the baby's umbilical hernia is still not self-healing at the age of two, then it can no longer be allowed to go on at this time, and surgical treatment must be carried out. As long as the umbilical hernia is less than 1.5 cm, infants before the age of two should be observed for a period of time, because most children will heal themselves, so parents do not need to worry too much.
