My baby has a small lump behind her ear?

Lump: That is where the mastoid bone is and sometimes there is a tiny lymph node in this area. If there is no redness and the swelling doesn't increase just watch. All the best.

See pediatrician: Difficult to give advice based on description provided. Best bet is to see local pediatrician so that he or she can examine and give you a better sense of what the lump might be. Good luck.
