We are back from our appointment and i am one worry wart of a mummy! The specialist we saw was absolutely lovely. He did agree that the whole was rather big but he said when he pushed in further it felt as though it is on its way to closing. He said in most cases the hole gets bigger before it closes. He said that 80-90% of umbilical hernias close up completely before they are 3. But he is confident that she will be just fine. He said all her organs are in their right place and don't seem bothered.

I mentioned her lack of interest in food and her weight and he bluntly said, not rudely or anything but said she is completely fine and doesn't appear to look unhealthy and her eating habits will get better in time she is just too busy playing to worry about eating. He said we have done a great job with her so far and that she is "one very cute perfectly healthy little girl" he said she is very smart too that was after DP asked her to put rubbish in the bin and she clapped afterwards.

I also brought up her feet which he noticed that her left foot turns in, he's a little concerned and has asked we get a referral to an orthapedic specialist but would like us to wait atleast another 6 months incase it sorts itself out.

I am SO relieved and can finally stop worrying!!

Thanks for all your support

i would try to get an ortho appt now cos it might take awhile for you to get in. there are physio stretches you can do for baby s feet that work better the younger they are. especially as your dd s dad had talipes (clubfeet), better to get it checked out earlier rather than later.

I had severe talipes so have researched current treatments in case my littlies are born with them.
