SBE- Self Breast Exam

Have you done one this month🤔

The best time to perform an SBE is after your period🩸

You can do this either laying down or standing in the
shower 🚿

With your arms 🆙, examine each breast for any noticeable changes in shape, skin and ni**le changes. Do this again with your arms down⬇️

Look for any discharge from the ni**les 🧐

With 3 fingers from the right hand🖐🏾, starting at the ni**le of your left breast, in a circular motion move around the breast feeling for any lumps until you reach the outer edges of the breast.

Switch hands🖐🏾 and repeat this on the right breast

Prevention and early detection is key🔑

Don't skip out on your yearly mammogram‼️

Myth #5: Breastfeeding is too exhausting🥱

Truth: There will be times in your journey that you will feel exhausted. Caring for others, no matter their age, takes time🕒 and energy‼️ The journey of motherhood is a time to build your support network and continually develop your wellness strategies.

Take time for yourself!! A quick shower 🚿, a walk🏃🏾‍♀️ around the block or just 10 mins to meditate and deep breathe🫁 are just a few things you can do to indulge in self care💆🏾‍♀️

Don't be afraid to call on family members!! Aunts, uncles and especially grandparents love😍 being able to lend a hand ✋🏾 when needed!

It takes a village! Identify yours and lean on them for support when you need it 🫶🏾🙂‍↕️

Myth #4: Breastfeed babies only want their mother

Truth: While it may seem that mom is the chosen one, Dads and supportive family members alike can strengthen their bond with the baby☺️

✨Skin to skin✨ has many benefits and can be done by any caregiver. Skin to skin releases oxytocin AKA "The Love Hormone"🥰, which helps with bonding.

Touch is a powerful thing and can be helpful in keeping babies calm and comforted.

☝🏾Tip to remember: Be sure use a blanket to cover up with so your baby stays nice and warm☺️

Snuggle up close to these little ones👶🏾 They enjoy it as much as we do 💕😁

Myth #3: Breastfeeding is easy

Truth: Breastfeeding is a journey. It takes mom and baby working together on something they have never done before. It's a team effort👆🏾

For Mom🤱🏾: It's understanding both your body and your baby.

For baby👶🏾: It's following instinct and learning how to multitask while being in a brand new environment

Commitment🤱🏾Time ⏳Patience😌 Having an understanding of these things will help you along in your journey!!!

Stick with it!!! Both you and your baby will enjoy each moment together 🥰🤱🏾
