Can you see lymph nodes on your infants?

There's one on the back of his head I can see very clearly and I'm worried - he is 3 months old. Doctor doesn't seem concerned said j can wait till the 4 month appointment to go in coz apparently lymph nodes are super common in babies.

Yes, although I don’t see it, my 5 months old DS has it in exactly the same place. I can feel a rubbery mobile node when touching his head. GP said the same- these are common in babies. First time I noticed it when he was 10 weeks old and it didn’t go away.

You can see them in my DD neck and she’s 7. She’s very slim which makes them more noticeable and Dr’s have
told me they are simply
more visible in some children. I wouldn’t worry and I have awful health anxiety! 🌼

Yep, my DC have obvious lymph nodes. My DS has huge nodes - they have been up ever since he was a babe in arms and he’s 9 now. Because kids don’t have a lot of fat covering them, the nodes appear more pronounced.
