Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Since your baby has breast feeding 4 months aga and you have a lump in the arm pit only for 3 wees, these are not related to each other,
The probable causes can be :
Enlarged breast-tail into armpit, can happen after a childbirth
Can be lymph node
Sebaceous cyst or a boil.

Simple clinical examination by a Surgeon, ultrasonography and if required FNAC can give us the best possible diagnosis, go for this and get treated accordingly.
May a times we just have to keep a watch on further development.

Additional mammography and ultrasonography of the breast can help
I find this answer helpful
