Yeah it is. I think it's when the hormones are settling for the baby and their nipples look full. I don't think youre ment to press them and empty which can cause infection. They go down on their own
He’s two weeks old. Thank you both, that does make sense! I just don’t remember it with my first so thought something was wrong with him🙈
My first born had this and it was to do with my hormones passing to him, and gradually the breast tissue decreased x
May be worth mentioning it to midwife or health visitor whoever baby is under or even gp! Probably absolutely nothing to worry about my little boy had similar as a newborn when I had him and they told me it would go away on its own it was my hormones passing on to him through my breast milk
How old? Their nipples and genitals are usually swollen for a couple of weeks after birth. I believe it’s hormonal.
