Hello there,
An asymmetrical bulge in the stomach may be an indication of an abnormality if she also has a history of vomiting post feeds alongwith the bulge. A simple ultrasound abdomen may reveal the commonest causes of bulges in an infant.
Hope this helps you,
I would be glad to address any further queries.
