I have a new infant in my care. She has a large, soft umbilical hernia. When she is crying it almost looks like she has another big soft lump under the hernia.

The umbilical hernia is about the size of a quarter, but the underneath part is about the size of a large marshmallow.

Do these hernias cause pain at all? She is a terrible napper and I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this?
