Little lumps are ok: Young babies don't have much leg muscle yet. Sometimes after a shot, there will be a lump in the leg muscle for a few days to a couple of weeks. If the lump is big (more than 1 inch wide), seems to hurt a lot, is warm and reddened, or is causing the baby to fuss a lot, a return trip to the doctor for a re-check is recommended. Getting more than one shot in each leg may cause more symptoms.

Hot or cold: It can be normal for there to be a lump at the injection site. However, if it is warm, red, and getting larger, it needs to get checked out by a physician.
