    Belly button - in or out

    My DD's belly button still appears to be an "outie" and I'm wondering at what age it should go in. I've noticed other bubs have their belly button just like an adult (an in'ie) so I'm wondering if maybe Chloe is going to have a outie belly button or if it's just slow to go in.

    It essentially looks like it did, in terms of size and position, as what it did when her cord dropped off. The middle section did get a darker grey colour and I thought maybe it was going to pull itself in but it hasn't..

    Any thoughts or ideas on how her belly button may end up??

    P.S. She is almost 14 weeks.

    I didn't think they changed. I think the type of belly button has to do with how the cord is clamped and cut. My daughters is an outy and I'm not happy about that coz both me and DH have lovely deep innies. At least if she has an outy she wont get it peirced one day LOL

    My sister was about 5 before her belly button became an inie - she used to call it her "Willy"

    DD's is borderline - becomes an outie if she has a really big meal, otherwise it's only just an innie. She loves playing with it.
