It depends on size of swelling coming out during crying or stress. If it’s larger one then may needs surgery otherwise will resolve with time.
it can settle with time.kindly show top peads surgeon once to clear your doubt
It is very not uncommon in children, it is umblocal hernia, it is mostly disapper with passage of time but if bot disappear even at the age of 5 years it then need surgery. So i recomend her to go and get paediatric general surgoen appointment if she is curiuos and their is change in size of swelling or color of swelling, otherwise dont worry. precautiin that dont let baby to cry like avoid from anything which upset and disturb baby and gonna cry.

This is probably a case of umbilical hernia which is a relatively common condition seen in babies.
If baby is feeding well and there are no concerns then nothing to worry about. It may take up to 2 years before it resolves.
If at any stage baby becomes unwell such as not feeding well, persistent vomiting or abdominal distension then must consult a paediatric surgeon immediately.
Hope this puts your mind at ease.
