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.

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.
-
@mrsbells: Yes totally! 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!

Innie. The had an outie when she was a newborn because of a hernia. But that healed on its own.

This is what Wikipedia says:
The occurrence of an outie navel is caused by the extra skin left from the umbilical cord or from umbilical hernias, although a child with an umbilical hernia will not necessarily develop an outie. 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.

Hubs and I both have innies and so does LO. I love LO's belly button - it's so cute!
-
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!
-
@Mrs. Bee: What causes this hernia? 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.

Both Wagon Sr. and I have deep innies, so it was a shocker that Wagon Jr. ended up with an outie! It is so adorable!
-
@Mrsbells: there's nothing you can do to prevent it. it's common in preemies, and most of the time it goes away on its own by the first birthday. olive's was flat by the time she was 4 months old.
-
@Mrs. Bee: oh ok... we'll just have to wait and see then
-
We both have innies and our kids have innies..
-
Right now it's like half and half. lol. She is only 5 weeks, though.
-
Innie, as do DH and I
-
Innies for husband, LO, and me.
-
She has a hernia too so its an outie (she was full term). Its still pretty bad at 8 months. Our doctor said usually they heal but by age 4-6 if its still there they will discuss surgery.
