Hi,
It seems that your child is having umbilical hernia.
After pressing hernia inside apply a coin on belly button and put adhesive tap.
Keep it for few weeks, hernia might subside.
Please see that coin and adhesive tap should not be loose.
If there is no improvement, then consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
