  Totally normal. Just a sign that his body is fighting an infection.

  J has them as well. They still bug me out despite the dr. Letting me know they are normal. He has two by his hair line and one new one behind his ear. Dr hasn't seen that one but I'm doing my best to just know it's ok. Being the constant worrier that I am.....
  
  I was under the impression they appear for illness (fighting etc) but he has them all the time.
  
  @kelly422‌ Could they appear for teething? (Sorry to bug you! I just got worried again...)

  Lymph nodes get big if they're fighting infection or even inflammation. A lot of times the scalp lymph nodes get big when babies have cradle cap or dry skin.  I guess technically teething can cause inflammation, so there can be enlarged lymph nodes, but I haven't seen that very often. If the lymph nodes are small (like pea sized), no big deal.

  @TheTamedShrew‌ did you hear back from the pedi? We're going in this afternoon.

  Yes, he said that it was nothing to be concerned about and to be expected while she's fighting infection.
