my baby is a week old and just noticed it behind her ear. She was forceps delivery and has bruising, also is currently fighting jaundice. Is this normal?

Have you seen anyone about the bruising and jaundice?

Yes, have been back and forth the hospital all week with her and had 4 tests done.

My LG had this. I went to the doctor and the followed it up with a referral to paeds.

Paediatrician checked her over and said it was quite common to feel the lymph nodes behind the ear. Wasnt concerned and just said if it got bigger/changed to go back to gp.

Trying not to worry, but make an appointment with gp to be on safe side
