I have a lump under my armpit after breastfeeding..is it normal?

Get it examined by doctor once! usually it's normal until the size has not changed.

my baby is 5months old now n my breast milk is also reduced where my baby likes to suck milk at my breast. but when milk flow becomes slow he gets frustrated n starts crying. he doesnt like to take anything else other than breast milk. so since 1week i have started taking lactare capsules which are ayurvedic n very effective. now my baby is happy woth the milk suplly.

I had emergency C section and baby for fed formula for 2 days.
1. When I stated to breastfeed I got cracked nipples and that got corrected by applying hot ghee.
2. Then engrossed breast as baby prefered only 1 side and that got corrected by expressing milk and feeding from led prefered side while baby was asleep.
3. Then milk supply reduced when baby was 1 month old and I had to take lactation powder for help.
4. After 1st vaccination my baby stopped take bottle.So till date he is exclusively breastfeed even though he's 3+ months old and I will be back to work in 2.5 months.

Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is must! post that you can breastfeed your baby with solids for around 2 to 2.5 years atleast to improve the baby immune system.

I am also working mother and got leaves till 6 till months, but not sure how I'll manage my baby in breast milk alone as I'll be back to work in 2.5 months.
Due to emergency C section my baby was given formula milk and he continued that along with breast milk till 1st vaccination. Post that he stopped the formula milk and I tried for a week but he didn't take formula at all. I'm happy to exclusively breastfeed my baby but what after I go back to work after 2.5 months. How do you manage to exclusively breastfeed?

No worries dear...just feed your baby in morning and evening .In the afternoon,start solid food
