While my wife was breastfeeding our week-old son, she noticed two lumps under her underarms. is that a normal occurrence post-pregnancy?

Underarm lumps: Sometimes lumps in the underarm area represent additional breast tissue in breastfeeding moms. However it is important that she is checked by her physician to make sure the lumps do not represent something more serious.
