Lump in baby's leg two weeks after jabs

Four month jabs were two weeks ago and I've just noticed DD still has a lump in her leg on one side. I say "still" - I didn't really notice at the time, but I'm presuming it's from that. Is this likely/usual/okay? There's lots of information about side effects that mention lumps lasting for a couple of days, but obviously this is a lot longer than that - and I'm only fairly sure that this is where it's come from. Has anyone else had a jab lump last this long?

My DD had this; I didn’t notice anything at first then noticed it after 2 weeks. I went to the GP and to be on the safe side they put her on anti biotics, it didn’t actually go after that which they said was actually good as it meant it wasn’t infected otherwise anti biotics would shrink it. It went away after about 2 more weeks and the GP had me come back after 2 weeks and were happy for leave it and after a month it’d gone

Ds had huge lumps after his 1 year ones, they took a few weeks to go. He still has a bruise and they were in june!

If bub is unwell or area is red/hot to touch I would get it checked, otherwise can you call your practice nurse to put your mind at ease?

You can’t undo vaccinations.

Normal! My 3rd dc had his for ages!

My dd had large lumps after both 4 month and 1 year vaccinations, the nurse I saw advised me to gently massage her leg to help disperse it. I also rubbed a little sudacream on it to soothe it too. They lasted quite a while but seems to be a totally normal thing.

Okay, that sounds reassuring. It's not red, and there's no evidence it's uncomfortable for her - I just wasn't expecting anything to still be there after a couple of weeks!
