October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Research consistently shows that breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer. Every month of breastfeeding lowers the risk, with around 26% reduction in risk for every 12 months of feeding.
A variety of factors is thought to contribute to overall breast health during breastfeeding, including hormonal changes, tissue changes and a shift within the immunity system.
Research also shows there is no difference to risk for those who exclusively pump.

You should continue to check your breasts on a monthly basis throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding. The breasts do change significantly during this time period and can feel unusually 'lumpy' but please trust your instincts and contact your GP if any concerns.

The following is a guide to checking your breasts: https://coppafeel.org/breast-cancer-info-and-advice/how-do-i-check/

Please see the following article for more information regarding breast cancer, breastfeeding and links to research: https://www.bcrf.org/about-breast-cancer/breastfeeding-breast-cancer-risk/

Sharing on behalf of Edge Hill Masters student, Ana Colodetti, who is undertaking research regarding English and Brazilian mothers and their experiences around breastfeeding:

Hello!
I’m a Master’s student in Psychology at Edge Hill University, and I’m currently working on my dissertation about cultural differences in breastfeeding between English and Brazilian mothers.
I’m inviting mums (Brazilian or English) who have had children and breastfed for at least 2 months in the past five years to take part.

The questionnaire is completely anonymous and takes around 15 minutes to complete.

Here’s the link: https://shre.ink/SZFF

Any questions you can email Ana: 25942905@edgehill.ac.uk

Please meet Mel, our lovely, very experienced, Breastfeeding Peer Support Facilitator. You'll find her friendly face at all the support groups across Knowsley where she will be ready and waiting to offer feeding advice, support, parenting tips or just for a chat and to make you a much-needed hot brew 😊

Hi, my name is Mel, mum to 3 boys and Breastfeeding Peer Support Facilitator for Knowsley.

My own journey and experiences of breastfeeding my boys, plus the support I received, inspired me to want to support others. I have volunteered for Liverpool Community Bambis for 9 years and had experience of supporting mums with feeding on the postnatal wards at Liverpool Women's Hospital before completing a degree in Birth and Beyond. This further increased my knowledge and skillset to be able to support new families during the antenatal and postnatal period.

I currently run our 4 drop-in groups within the Knowsley area. I am already enjoying supporting and getting to know lots of you and look forward to welcoming lots more of you to our groups. We provide a safe space for breastfeeding support and building of new friendships x
