Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should consult a gynaecologist and get your examination done to rule out whether your breast are normal or not.
Such type of sucking usually may not cause any type of breast lump but chances are still be there.
Good luck.
take care.

Hello,
Breast feeding or handling is usually not associated with development of lump or tumor. It is quite a good practice and can be continued as much as you want.
But, you need to take care of your breast like cleaning regularly (before and after sucking), care for cracked nipple, wearing proper breast support etc.
Good luck. For any query, you can directly ask me by viewing my profile.
