One of the most fascinating parts of pregnancy for me is the way it changes a person’s body<\/a>. It’s really amazing that your body adapts to grow an entire person. Another thing that blew my mind was how the body doesn’t stop changing after you give birth. I chose to breastfeed, and I was really fascinated when I learned how that works. A mom on TikTok also recently made an interesting discovery about your breastfeeding body<\/a> — you can have nipples in parts of your body that aren’t your breasts. Apparently, our bodies have something called a milk line, and it goes farther down than you’d expect!<\/p>

Mom Jasmine shared her shocking discovery<\/a> nearly a week after giving birth to her second child. Running on maybe three hours sleep, she had a conversation with a lactation consultant that blew her mind. As a second time breastfeeding mom, she had thought she’d heard everything. <\/p>

But she was seriously wrong.<\/h2>

The LC asked if she had noticed any excess breast tissue, and Jasmine explained that she noticed some in her armpits. She also mentioned that her armpits had changed color. During pregnancy, your nipples and areolas get darker, which also happened to her armpits.<\/p>

Despite understanding the change, the new mom couldn’t have anticipated what the lactation consultant told her.<\/p>

“That’s a nipple!” was not a sentence you hear every day. “You have a third nipple in your armpit,” the consultant said. <\/p>

“I’m gagged,” Jasmine admitted in her video. “You know how cows and puppies and kittens have that line of nipples?” she asked. “Humans have that too.”<\/p>
