Lumps on babies head? Going to the drs tomorrow

Question

Baby has lumps behind is head .. kinda moveable by the neck , but on the lower side of head
Normal? Any mommies experienced this on babies head?
Should I go to the er

Answer

My daughter had the same thing. It’s their lymph nodes! I took her to the doc because I was concerned. It’s really common but they said there’s nothing wrong. Don’t mess with them and they will go down

Answer

My son had that. Doctor initially thought it was a lymph node but it didn’t go away with antibiotics. She sent us for an ultrasound which found it was just a small accumulation of fat, completely harmless unless it started to cause him discomfort (never has). I would just go to the pediatrician, not the ER.

Answer

Sounds like lymph nodes to me too. U have between 500-700 lymph nodes in the body

Answer

Is the lump in the back? It’s probably the occipital lymph node. Check for one on the other side- if there is symmetry it is unlikely a problem.
