Tiny white bumps on nipples?

I have had these for awhile and just wondering if this indicates anything? They don't hurt or itch or anything. I just don't remember having them last time I BF my other LO's

    How old is your LO?  I know I had white bumps prior to giving birth....like my colostrum was trying to leak, but it never really came out.  I know some women have actual leaking when still pregnant, but I only ever had these white bumps (boob boogers I guess :> )

    does it look like a pimple or whitehead? i have one on my right nipple that's developed.  it's not a pimple or whitehead but sure looks like it.  i think it might just be another sort of clogged pore?  mine doesn't hurt either or bother me. it's just sort of there ...

    I get these alllll the time. Several. I usually just pop them after I shower whenever I notice them. They don't hurt at all. But I figured it's best to drain them.

    That sounds like a milk bleb. Try warm compresses to pop it.
    milk bleb. i didn't even know that existed!   it's been there for > 2 months now same size. is it a problematic thing?

    If it's been there that long then maybe it's not. Google milk bleb. There are usually pictures and see if it's what you have.
    i googled it. some freaky stuff shows up on google image. i have no idea what i have now....but it doesn't bother me as of yet so i will leave it be.  thank you!
