Numerous sources including BBC Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota report, that whether you end up with an innie or an outie is random.
Nikon MicroscopyU suggests that extra skin left from the umbilical cord may cause the protrusion of an outie, and the Queensland Science Teachers Network says the difference between innies and outies is due to where the umbilical cord is cut. But these are the only sources we found that offered such explanations. A doctor quoted in one Salon column notes that the umbilical cord is always clamped several inches away from the navel and doesn't affect innie or outie status.
A more popular theory about outies is that they are caused by umbilical hernias. This condition is due to a small circular defect in the baby's abdominal wall that can make the belly button protrude. ParentSoup estimates that 10% to 30% of babies are born with umbilical hernias, but most heal as the abdominal muscles grow during a baby's first few years. However, American Baby says not to confuse an umbilical hernia with an outie belly button. A hernia expands when the baby cries or strains, but an outie doesn't. Also, the Cleveland Clinic's picture of an umbilical hernia looks a lot more protuberant than a standard outie.

An innie is a normal looking belly button, it looks more like a hole! An outie is the belly button poked out, it sticks out and you can have surgery to get it fixed! I had the surgery done and it was supposed to be normal but the doctor mad the cut wrong so now I have an innie/outie with a nice scar right under it!

An "outie" is led to by skill of umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernia is a congenital malformation that toddlers are services to in the time of fetal progression throughout the technique by skill of which the abdomen organs type outdoors the abdomen hollow area, then later return into the tummy by an beginning which will develop into the umbilicus (the navel). a newborn with an umbilical hernia won't inevitably strengthen an outie. apparently to take place extra often in boys.

An innie navel is when your belly has a whole in it pretty much where your Abigail cord fell off lol and a outtie is when your belly button has skin right next to the surface where innies have their whole. Its hard to explain hope this helped!

innie is what most people have--it's an indented belly button, like sunk in. outie is like filled with skin and pokes out. an innie isn't filled with skin.

well if you have an innie your belly button is really deep - if you have an innie-outie its kinda normal .. and if its an outie it sticks out of your stomach !
