I saw a mom a few days ago who gave me permission to share her situation. 
She and I wonder if anyone has seen something  like this: after she nurses 
her week old baby, her areola swells in a kind of half moon pattern above 
her nipple and a little below it. 
At first I thought it might be fluids as she had some pitting on RPS 
before nursing, but when I touched it it was very soft and then her nipple 
became erect from the touching and the swelling disappeared. Swelling came 
back when nipple relaxed. It does not hurt or anything but we are curious 
about what it could be. The other problems she is having are; breasts 
enlarged lots during all three pregnancies, had too much milk with first 
two and has tons this time, too. Has engorgement even with home birth, 
lots of nursing from beginning. Thanks, 
Mary Taylor, LLLL, new IBCLC
