Checking your boobs could save your life
As a breastfeeding mama, you'll be getting quite used to viewing your breasts in their new functionary role as nourishment for your baby above all else.
You’ll be used to noting how your breasts look and feel when they are filling up, letting down, empty! or in an engorged state. You will likely know the basic signs of thrush, mastitis, blocked ducts, cracked or sore nipples to name a few common breastfeeding challenges. However if anything seems unusual or you have any any concerns about your breasts whilst breastfeeding, please consult your doctor or breastfeeding support counsellor.
And when you’ve progressed on from breastfeeding, your hormones will return to ‘normal’ and you will notice how your breasts look and feel when they no longer produce milk. They may not look or feel the same as pre pregnancy.
Even though your boobs will no longer be the focus of your every day, you need to keep noticing how your breasts look and feel with regular breast checking.
Here’s a visual guide from CoppaFeel! to show you what to look for: 
Spread the word amongst your friends. Encourage open discussion and boob checking within your family as they grow up. Breast checking can save lives.
When breast cancer is diagnosed early, treatments are often more effective and survival rates are higher.
