Imagine you're a baby, and your mom is holding you by the umbilical cord, like a magic string. When that string gets cut after you’re born, it leaves behind a little hole on your tummy, which we call a belly button. Some people have an innie, others have an outie, it all depends on how the skin healed around that hole.
Examples
- A baby's belly button forms after the umbilical cord is cut at birth.
- Some people have a deep 'innie', others have a raised 'outie'.
- Your belly button is like a tiny reminder of your connection to your mom.
