Lump in thigh.
My 3 month old had her second lot of vaccines on 22nd and has developed a massive hard lump where the injection was. She is refusing to bend her leg unless it’s of her own will.
Anyone else have this with their baby? Should I be concerned? Google said a pea size lump is normal but this is bigger than a pee.

It is normal and should go within a couple of weeks.
It is classed as mild inflamation as the baby's immune system is building protection.
You can always do the following
1. Apply a cold compress to the lump to help reduce any pain or swelling
2. Gently massage the area but avoid putting pressure on the lump
3. Off pain relief if they seem uncomfortable.
Keep an eye on it, if it does not seem to be going down in in roughly 2 to 4 weeks or looks red and feels hot to touch contact your doctor or ring 111 for advice
