When a lump appears in the breast while breastfeeding

One or more small lumps have appeared on your breasts since you started breastfeeding your baby. When should you start to worry?

• When a mother breastfeeds her child, the mammary glands can produce what are called nodules.
• These small, hard, usually painless lumps are usually gone within a few days, so there's no need to worry about them if they do.
• However, if you notice that they persist over time, don't hesitate to make an appointment with your doctor. Prevention is better than cure and it will put your mind at rest.
