Is there anything parents can do to prevent it, or do you just have to wait and see? My mom said my belly button was an outie at first but then it sunk it and became an innie before my 1st birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115669 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:51:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 115669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive had a huge umbilibal hernia that's now gone. her belly button is flat and i'm hoping that it goes in a little more. i'm just glad that she didn't need surgery for the hernia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115665 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:45:15 +0000 Rubies 115665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I both have innies and so does LO.

Although frequently separated into these two categories, navels actually vary quite widely among people in terms of size, shape, depth/length, and overall appearance. As navels are scars, and not defined by genetics, they can serve as a way of distinguishing between identical twins in the absence of other identifiable marks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115653 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:24:24 +0000 chopsuey 115653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has an innie :) DH and I both have innies too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115610 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:47:14 +0000 heffalump 115610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Innie.

I wanted my LO to have an innie and he did. I want the same with our 2nd baby and was curious to see if there's anything we can do within our control to make it become an innie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115600 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:39:21 +0000 Mrsbells 115600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious about this too because I want my LO to have an innie and I've always wondered why some people end up with an outie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-innie-or-outie-belly-button#post-115598 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:38:10 +0000 banana 115598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO has a deep innie and I'm curious if that has anything to do with how the umbilical cord was attached/removed or if it's purely genetic? My DH and I both have deep innies. </p>
