Hi there, just looking for someone who has had experience with baby hernias. Recently took DS 14mo to docs to get a rash checked and to look into some tummy pains he's been having. We saw a stand in doctor and as she was looking at his tummy she casually said " oh did you know he has a hernia?"
Of course I panicked as I associate a hernia with a serious problem as it is in adulthood but she blew over it and didn't expand carrying on with checking his rash (eczema) I had to ask what we do about it!
She didn't know...
Rang me later that day to say she looked it up and they won't need to see him about it until he's 3.
Has anyone got any advise on what the process is? I'm worried it's causing him pain/discomfort.
