Umbilical cord is the connection between the mother and the baby which is cut off after the birth. Normally, the opening in the umbilical cord closes shortly after the child is born. However, in some cases, the opening may not close up and a hole will be left in the abdomen that makes the child more prone to umbilical hernia.

A large umbilical hernia is one that is bigger than 3 cm. At this stage, the doctors usually recommends surgical treatment.
