A member asked:
Does tugging on umbilical cord cause herniated belly buttons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Innies" vs "Outies": I am not aware of data showing a relationship. If that were the case, we would probably see many more "outies" or umbilical hernias in children delivered in teaching hospitals :/.
