Breast Health & Breast Feeding Guide

Breast Self Examination Guide

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes and do not stay the same throughout your life. Your monthly period, pregnancy, age and weight changes may alter the shape, size and feel of your breasts.

To know what is normal for your breasts –

• LOOK
Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Look for any changes to the size, shape and skin of your breasts, including your nipples.
If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your doctor’s attention:

- dimpling, puckering or bulging of the skin
- a nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple
- redness, soreness, rash or swelling
Now raise your arms and look for the same changes

• FEEL
Step One
While you are at the mirror, gently squeeze each nipple between your finger and thumb and check for nipple discharge – this could be milky, yellow fluid or blood

Step Two
Now feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few fingers of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together.
Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side, from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen and from your armpit to your cleavage

Be sure to feel all the breast tissue: just beneath your skin with a soft touch and down deeper with a firmer touch. Begin examining each area with a very soft touch and then increase pressure so that you can feel the deeper tissue down to your ribcage

Step Three
Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting.
Many women find that the easiest way top feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery so this step can be done while in the shower.

“Supplements To Consider For Breast Health”
Ensure liver detoxification processes are functioning well for clearance of excess estrogens – glutathione, cysteine, glycine, methionine, taurine, bioflavonoids, B complex, folic acid, antioxidants

“Healthy Lifestyle Guide For Women”
Lifestyle Considerations include many areas such as:-

“Understanding Breast Cancer”
Every woman who hears the words ‘breast cancer’ feels a sense of fear. What is breast cancer and can you prevent it? Here are some facts about breast cancer every woman should know…

“12 Tips to Protect Your Body after Breast Cancer Surgery”
If you are facing breast cancer surgery or have had a mastectomy or partial mastectomy, there are certain activities you can avoid to bypass extra suffering after your surgery.

“Poem about Mamograms”
A Humerous look at getting a Breast Mamogram Test..

“How Breast Milk Is Made”
If you've every been pregnant or if you are pregnant now, you've probably noticed a metamorphisis in your bra cups.

The physical changes (tender, swollen breasts) may be one of the earliest clues that you have conceived.

“Engorged breasts”
Within the first two to three days after you have given birth, you may discover that your breasts feel swollen, tender, throbbing, lumpy, and overly full.

Sometimes, the swelling will extend all the way to your armpit, and you may run a low fever as well.

“Breast Feeding Health And Diet”
The nutritional requirements for the baby will rely solely on the breast milk, and therefore the mother will need to maintain a healthy diet.

If the baby is large and grows fast, the fat stores gained by the mother during pregnancy can be depleted quickly, meaning that she may have trouble eating good enough to maintain and develop sufficient amounts of milk.

“Reasons To Breast Feed”
For many years, scientists have been playing out the ingredients that make breast milk the perfect food for babies.

They've discovered to day over 200 close compounds to fight infection, help the immune system mature, aid in digestion, and support brain growth - nature made properties that science simply cannot copy.

“Getting Started With Breast Feeding”
When you hold your baby for the first time in the delivery room, you should put his lips to your breast.

“Breast Feeding And Positioning”
For some people, the process of breast feeding seems to come natural, although there's a level of skill required for successful feeding and a correct technique to use.

Although your mature milk hasn't developed yet, your breasts are still producing a substance known as colostrum that helps to protect your baby from infections.

“Refusal To Breast Feed”
Sometimes, a baby that is breast fed may suddenly decide to refuse breast feeding.

The baby will pull away from the breast, then toss his head from side to side.

“The First Six Weeks”
Breast milk is the best food you can give to your baby.

Breast milk is a complete food source, containing all the nutrients your baby need - at least 400 of them to be exact, including hormones and disease fighting compounds that aren't found in formula.

“Breast Feeding Adopted Babies”
Not only is breast feeding an adopted baby easy, the chances are that you will produce a large amount of milk.

It isn't complicated to do, although it is different than breast feeding a baby you have been pregnant with for 9 months.

“Benefits Of Breast Feeding”
Once you've given birth, breast feeding is the single most important thing you can do to protect your baby and help to promote good health. Best of all, breast feeding is free.

“Breast compression”
The sole purpose of breast compression is to continue the flow of milk to the baby once the baby no longer drinks on his own.

“Breast Feeding In Public”
Babies that are breast fed are very portable and easy to comfort no matter where your schedule has you going. Many women however, worry about breast feeding in public.

“Avoiding Foods While Breast Feeding”
Many women find that they can eat whatever they may like during breast feeding.

Even though it's true that some stongly favored foods can change the taste of your milk, many babies seem to enjoy the varieties of breast milk flavors.

“Breast Pump”
The milk production in the breasts, much like so many other things, work on the shear principal of supply and demand.

The more breast milk your baby consumes, the more your body will need to make

“How To Use A Breast Pump”
Just like breast feeding, pumping is a skill that you learn. When first trying a breast pump, most mothers are only able to express a few drops of milk.

With the proper practice and knowledge, the mother will be more efficient at pumping.

“Breast Feeding Complications”
Sore nipples A lot of mothers complain about tender nipples that make breast feeding painful and frustrating.

There is good news though, as most mothers don't suffer that long. The nipples will toughen up quickly and render breast feeding virtually painless.

“Breast Feeding And Jaundice”
Jaundice is a result of buildup in the blood of the bilirubin, a yellow pigment that comes from the breakdown of older red blood cells.

It's normal for the red blood cells to break down, although the bilirubin formed doesn't normally cause jaundice because the liver will metabolize it and then get rid of it in the gut.

“Low Supply Of Breast Milk”
Almost all mothers who breast feed go through a period of questioning whether or not their supply of milk is adequate.

Some mothers simply aren't able to produce enough milk to meet the needs of her baby.

“Other Foods While Breast Feeding”
Breast milk is actually the only food your baby will need until 4 months of age, although most babies do well on breast milk alone for 6 months or better.

There is really no advantage to adding other foods or milks before 4 - 6 months, except under unusual circumstances.

“Poor Milk Supply”
Almost all women don't have a problem with producing enough milk to breast feed.

The ideal way to make sure that your baby is getting enough milk is to be sure that he's well positioned, attached to the breast, and feed him as often as he gets hungry.

“Returning To Work”
Once you return to work, you can continue to breast feed.

If you live close to work or have an on site daycare, you may be able to breast feed during your breaks.

“Breast Feeding Toddlers”
Because more and more women are choosing to breast feed their babies, more and more are also finding that they enjoy it enough to continue longer than the first few months they planned on.

“Starting Solid Foods”
Breast milk is all your baby will need until at least 4 months of age.

There does come a time, when breast milk will no longer supply all of your baby's nutrition needs.

“Weaning From Breast Feeding”
When your baby has stopped breast feeding and gets all of his nutrition from other sources than the breast, he's actually considered weaned.

Even though babies are also weaned from the bottle as well, the term weaning often refers to when a baby is stopped from breast feeding.

Editor’s notes & humour:

How kids see the Sea

1) This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly age 6)

2) Oysters' balls are called pearls. (James age 6)

3) If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. (Wayne age 7)

4) Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)

5) A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy age 8)

6) My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs. (Millie age 6)

7) When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William age 7)

8) I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen age 6)

9) I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy age 6)

10) Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)

11) When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin age 6)

12) Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Two divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky age 8)

13) On holiday my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water shot up her bottom. (Julie age 7)
