description Background: A congenital umbilical hernia is a common anomaly seen at birth or during infancy, as a small or large umbilical bulge or swelling due to herniation of the bowel or omentum, mostly requiring medical attention. If umbilical fascial ring fails to close and obliterate after the separation of umbilical cord soon after birth, will be clinically presenting as umbilical hernia. Though spontaneous resolution of umbilical hernia is established fact, but however, duration of it, is still a matter of speculation and what should be done during this waiting period: twiddling the thumbs? and how to avoid surgical interventions or morbidities. Aim and methods: Hence author proposes here a conservative, non-invasive management technique by mother herself to help to heal her baby from this anomaly during this watchful expectancy period to avoid fatalities.
