A newborn's abdominal wall is not strong right now and so the abdominal muscles split open, allowing some of the intestines to push outside the abdominal wall. It's not serious and usually goes away as the baby gets older. If the condition does not improve by the babie's first birthday, I'd suggest taking your baby to the doctor to see if something non-invasive can be done. Often if it does not get better by age two, a minor surgery is usually done to push the intestines back into the abdominal cavity.
