Lump under DD's nipple/breast tissue... worried.

?DD is 4 1/2 months old and has a lump under her right nipple that is noticeably larger than the lump under her left nipple. My Ped. saw her a short time ago for her check up and said it was just breast tissue, but since then it has increased in size. Is this something that just happens or am I right to be concerned and want her to take a second look at her? ?She hasn't had a fever or any redness around the area.?

FYI, she had swollen breasts and witches milk when she was born, but that was gone by 4 weeks. ?

    i'd have dr take another look but i wonder if it's a little clogged duct that never got the memo after her little milk supply dried up.
    Wheee!

    is she on BM? If she is, the lump is from the hormones in your milk and it's a common occurance, totally normal. It happened to my DD when I was still BF-ing. Leave it be and it will go away on its own.

    She's on Soy formula.. but I've heard that the soy can mimic estrogen?? Maybe that is why???

    I think I am going to call the ped. on Monday and take her in for a second look.
