If this does not happen, surgery may be necessary. Until then, the umbilical hernia is usually only observed and not treated. This approach is currently considered the medical standard. With this study, the investigators want to find out whether taping the umbilical hernia causes it to disappear more quickly. The investigators also want to know whether taping leads to less frequent protruding belly buttons (fewer \"outies\") and whether taping can cause a change in the quality of life of the parents. The investigatorsare therefore planning a study in which they will randomly divide patients into groups (observation versus taping) and examine the infants at 6 and 12 months of age. In addition to our physical examinations, the parents will each fill out a questionnaire about any stress they may be experiencing due to the umbilical hernia.",[72],"Umbilical Hernia",[74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"Umbilical hernia","Taping","Observation","Medical tape","Strapping","Hernia strapping","Hernia taping","Hernia bracing","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-28",{"date":85,"type":86},"2026-07-29","ACTUAL",{"date":88,"type":66},"2027-01-01",{"date":90,"type":66},"2030-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
