Re: umblical hernia
What are her signs & symptoms...?Sometimes if there are no serious issues,nothing is done and it goes away by the time the kid is a lil older.
It is not a serious condition and if it requires surgical correction,it is easily done via a small incision.But I do get it that you are worried about your baby,and your kid's 'surgery' is scary for any parent.Inshallah she will be fine.
In the US,it is recommended to starts solids at 6 months of age and kids her age do not need any water.They can quench thirst with milk (breast/formula).

Re: umblical hernia
I know what it is and how it looks.I was wondering if it was complicated for your daughter that they were suggesting surgery at 3 months of age.
I hope she gets better,Inshallah.
