Lump on Breast

I just went into the doctor today for a lump on my breast. I am curious to know if anyone has had a similar experience and what the outcome was.

So I have had this lump on my breast for at least three months now. I exclusively breast feed and I had noticed a lump and originally thought it was a clog until it didn’t go away. The doctor is having me go in for an ultra sound to get it checked out. Has anyone else had this and it turned out to be benign? Kind of freaking out but also knowing this can happen to pregnant/breastfeeding mamas.

I had an ultrasound a couple of months ago for a lump and it was just a lump of hard tissue, nothing scary! Mine felt like it was along a milk duct too x

I had a lump for 5+ years and neglected ever getting checked just to find out it was thankfully just a fibroadenoma

Mine was fibrodenoma but I had this wayyy before I was pregnant or breastfeeding around the age of 18. Could yours be mastitis?

I had one but it was just my breast tissue.

Couple years ago I had a benign lump that wasn't fully diagnosed as it went away by itself. Most likely a cyst or fibroandenoma. Found another thats currently needs to be checked out. I can update after

Had the same!! Started when i was breastfeeding, Dr told me it was from a blocked duct. I get it checked every 6 months and they told me that now it's just dense tissue lump but also hormonal, it gets bigger or smallet based on my cycle.

i noticed a lump a little after giving birth and at my 6 week appt my midwife said it’s probably a clogged duct. i never got it checked further than that and it’s been 3 years 😭 it’s still there. i need to get it checked again.

I noticed a lump when I was 7months pregnant in my left breast. I have a history of cysts so didn’t think anything of it, fast forward to PP breastfeeding and is still there. I got referred to breast clinic and they scanned it and lo and behold it was 37mm cyst full of milky fluid. They aspirated it there and then and felt soooo much better. It has since come back though

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?
