Is it normal to feel the pressure of a baby breastfeeding umder ur armpit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeeding: I am not certain i understand your question well. However, some breast tissue occasionally extend to the are of the axilla (underarm) and i think the pressure you are referring to must be coming from that area. If my advice does not answer your question, please rephrase it and send it again.
