This is a normal response seen in some babies due to presence of hormones in the mother's milk, that they receive during breastfeeding.
Next Steps
Do not touch or press the area. It will resolve by itself. It does not require any treatment.
Health Tips
Trying to press or squeeze the swollen area can lead to inflammation and infection and further complications.
