Question
The baby of a newborn suddenly found a hard lump inside the nipple yesterday. What should I do if a newborn baby has a hard lump inside the nipple?
Answer
This situation requires a hospital examination, possibly due to breast hyperplasia caused by the sudden interruption of hormones. Have a breast ultrasound done to see if there is inflammation; was there any squeezing during birth? Generally, squeezing is what causes this kind of situation. The main thing is still to go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound, and if necessary, undergo a head CT or MRI examination. Just wait and see the results; there’s usually no big problem at home.
