Hi! I have a 22 month old girl and she was about 9 or 10 months old when we felt something like that too. When I took her to the Ped. it turned out to be swollen glands (or nodes, I can't remember) and the Dr. said that it was very normal in baby girls. I am not sure if it's the exact same thing, but be patient and try not to stress (as hard as that is! I know.) Taking her to the Dr. is the best thing and you won't have to be guessing anymore.
Let us know what happens!
Good Luck!

My daughter had something similar on the back of her head and in her groin area. The lumps were hard, mobile and about the size of a bb. I, like you, thought the worst and called the doctor immediately. It turns out that the lumps were simply slightly swollen lymph nodes and actually a sign of a healthy immune system. The doctor said that unless the lumps were the size of a lima bean or grape, they're usually no cause for concern.

Hi N.,

See if it sounds the same as what your little one is experiencing. If it is, it seems there is nothing to worry about.

I have 2 daughters and I remember that. I think it is the mammary glands, which boys, of course, do not have.

I would call and ask or at her next checkup, but I don't think you have a reason to be overly worried.

Good luck

hi N.,it could be milk bumps.some babies get milk in there breast,but do take her to the docters.wish i could be more help.

I hope you found some comforting words from the other mom's here. My now 8yr old daughter had the same thing and not to play the echo game it's as some others mentioned , a simple sensitivity to estrogen. and now at 8yrs old my daughter is in a A cup training bra. Still not sure if there is any correlation between the two. I just hope the other mom's if not your doctor calmed your fears.

This is fairly common for little girls - it's an estrogen thing and my first daughter had it. Probably nothing at all to worry about, but better to ease your mind as a new mom.

they are probably cysts.

My now 15 month old daughter has those. They are nothing to worry about and will go away in time. My ped tells me she's just sensitive to estrogen. But by all means, if you feel better having her see the doctor then do it.

I think you'll find you get a lot of responses from other mom's who's children are in the same boat.

Good Luck!

My friends daughter has them, she was told they are breast buds. Basically the beginning of breast, and that it was because of an estrogen sensitivity. She took her off of soy formula, and they have gone away. It did take about 6 weeks before all of the extra estrogen was out of her system.

Hi there, my daughter is 7 months old, and has those lumps. Her doctor said its normal. I wouldn't worry. As for other ppl not experiencing the same with their own kids, all babies grow and develope differently. Good luck.

I have heard of this before on different mommy and baby pages. Each time I hear the same answer. Usually a female infant that develops lumps under her breasts or on her chest it is from leftover estrogen from the mother and will fade on their own. In a couple of cases I have heard of them fading before the doc appt! I would definetely keep the appointment, my son is 3 and had a lot of medical problems too so I understand. I am one of those that thinks the worst immediately too! BUT this time from what I have read this is something that happens relatively often in infant girls and is not dangerous or something to fear. I hope it all turns out ok. Good Luck
