newborn babies can have some enlargement of their breast buds due to mom's estrogen and this is normal, if it is irritated it can enlarge and secrete milk, do not squeeze the area, it may have gotten infected, if it is healed you should be fine, do not worry about later development of breast cancer at this age.
