Hi Meg !
Good to meet you outside of BreastEd as well :-D
>A 2 week old baby girl had a spot of dried milk on her nipple so it
>seems she has been secreting some milk.
I have seen this on numerous occasions. Because the secretion seems so
weird coming from a baby's breast, it's called 'witches' milk. I have also
seen this in baby boys.
Very often the baby also had a disc shaped swelling of the breast tissue.
If not left alone it can get inflamed.
>Quite close (1/2 cm) to the edge
>of her areola there was a sharp small lump, like feeling the end of a
>pen under the skin.
I haven't seen it like this though. The baby's sternum often seems more
like you described the lump but it''s more centered and further away from
the areola.

>mother has not been squeezing the breast or interfering in any way.
>Anyone seen this before?
I am very interested in other replies, it does sound fascinating.
