PINK BABY- HEALTHY NEW BORN'SKIN COLOUR

The colour of your new born baby at birth should be pink

It shows that baby has enough supply of oxygen to all parts of the body

If the palm and feet are blue, it indicates a sign of cyanosis, a sign of reduced oxygen.

It's more severe when the chest region is blue.

Call the attention of your doctor immediately

Report if your baby is blue, pale or yellow in color.

If your baby is dark in color and you cannot see the pink color, check the palm or the sole of the feet. It should not look pale or bluish.

SELF BREAST EXAMINATION

The statistics around breast cancer is unacceptable! 1 in 8 women are likely to get breast cancer in their lifetime.

But we can do something about it. Remember Early detection saves lives!

In a middle income country it is still relevant that women conduct self breast examinations to help detect changes in the breast and report if they feel lumps as well.

Though not 100 percent accurate in determining whether a woman is going to have breast cancer or not, it is still relevant

Perform procedure in front of a mirror if possible, especially during inspection to help identify skin changes

You can do it while standing, sitting or lying down.

Perform self breast examination without your clothes on in privacy please!

It's best done monthly at the same period... Just before or after your me**es

What to look out for

🔴Lumps in the breast usually painless

🔴Skin changes in skin around the breast.. (Especially if it becomes like the peel of an orange).

🔴Change in size and shape

🔴Abnormal breast discharge

🔴Sores on the breast or ni**le

🔴If your ni**le is retracting, kindly speak to a doctor about it.

Other recommended investigations include mammograms among others. Speak to your doctor or midwife.
