Anyone else ever notice a teeny lump in baby's neck?
I was BFing Riley and as I was just stroking her head and neck, I found a pea sized lump in her neck. I can kind of move it a little. I googled it and it seems almost common - possibly a lymph node. Did anyone else ever come across this?
TIA

Yup I noticed this too recently on DD, it's on the back of her head kinda behind her ear. I read also that it's a lymph node.

Crashing hon but it's most likely a lymph node. You have them all over. Neck, head, behind the ears, under arms, ect. Does she have allergies or maybe little cold? Teething can cause it (eta: IT meaning swelling) also. One of the few things I still remember from massage school!

Thanks girls! So glad I'm not panicking like I was last time when I found the lump in her thigh that came from the shots...
She very well could be teething Diane, makes sense now! Thanks babe!

yes-- they are lymphnodes and nothing to worry about.
Sasha had one too-- I forget how old she was.
