Hi, Swapneel,
Thanks for query,
Nothing to worry,gradually this will be alright after he gains weight and recti muscles become strong.
If umbilical hernia is a bit big then put a big coin on umbilicus after inserting hernia in side and put elastic strapping on it,
Keep this for some time like 2-3 weeks and then remove it.
This will help reducing hernia.
Ok and bye.
