    Boob question

    Y'know those little tiny lumps around the edge of the areola? One of mine is coming off. It isn't particularly painful. I gave it a little tug to see what it was and that hurt. But feeding from that nipple doesn't hurt. Should I see someone about it? Does anyone think I should be worried?

    Sounds like a skin tag, which you are prone to getting when your pregnant...or so I'm told.Which i wouldn't worry about.
    Does your baby's mouth cover it whilst feeding, coz you wouldn't want it to come off whilst feeding???
    Could of bubs scratched it whilst on the boob? And this is why it's coming off??

    Sorry not much help probably asking more questions really??

    Yup, it is in Phoebe's mouth when she feeds. It was actually quite sore this afternoon! And now it is turning very red and could well fall off. I suppose if it's important it'll grow back
