A member asked:

I.breastfeed my 10mth old and i recently felt a pea size lump in my breast about an inch from my nipple what can it b and is ok to feed on that side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A gland: Breast feeding causes glands in the breast to enlarge. It is fine to feed on that side. I would continue to monitor it and if it continues to grow consult your physician.
