How to treat hard lumps on a baby's nipple

Patient's question:

A five-month-old baby has a hard core under the nipple, which is not visible but can be felt. The nipple is also not prominent. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The fetus often accumulates estrogen and progesterone from the mother's body. After birth, there may be temporary breast development and breast hardness, which is normal and has no impact on the child's health. There is no need to worry, as this will gradually disappear as the child grows.
