I'm wondering about my baby's mundan ceremony. He's 4 months old right now. Is it okay to do the ceremony when he's 5 months, or should we wait longer for his head scalp to become harder? What do you recommend?

My 1-month-old son has a bigger belly button that's about 2 cm in height. Also, his right testicle sometimes swells up to almost double the size of the left one. The doctor says it might go away on its own within a year or else he'll need surgery. I'm really worried do these issues usually resolve by themselves?

A 2 cm umbilical hernia in a newborn usually resolves by itself within the first year, but if it doesn’t, surgery may be required. The testicular swelling should be monitored, but often resolves without intervention.
