Innee versus Outee Article

Why do some people have an "outee" and others have an "innee" belly button? Some theories are that if the doctor tied a bad knot, or the knot was tied too far away from the body, you would get an "outee". However, there is not knot tying. The doctor puts on a clip, cuts the cord, then it is a wait until the umbilical cord dries and falls off. Sometimes an "outee" will develop if the baby has a hernia at the site.
