Question About Baby's Breasts
Posted: 03-19-06 19:50pm

Just wondering if any one has ever experienced this. My daughter has pretty large breasts. Her pediatrician has noticed it but is not concerned. Anyone else experience this?

At my daughters first Dr. Appointment (she was a week old) he pointed out that her breasts were a little enlarged, he said that was from my hormones. They didn't, nor do they now seem very large. They have gone down since her appointment, she is now a month old. It should go away with time.

Sometimes the baby's breasts can contain milk, which as the previous lady said is from the hormones, it does happen quite a lot.

My baby had that- my doctor said it was from my hormones- totally normal. Sometimes the little breasts have milk too, he said that is called "witches milk" but didn't say why.
I don't know though, my daughter is now 6 months old, I stpopped breastfeeding at 3 months, and she still looks a little"buxsome" to us.
I think it's just baby fat- she's pretty roly poly.
