Breast health with Dr Justice Reilly

If you are breastfeeding, your breasts are going to be central to your success! Changes in breast health, from nipple damage and infection to breast cancer, can impact heavily your breastfeeding journey. In the most extreme cases, they can force a breastfeeding parent to stop nursing before they are ready.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Justice Reilly, an IBCLC, medical doctor and expert in all things breast health. We talk about breast cancer screening and treatment while lactating, abscesses and other breast health concerns, and how to look after your breasts during nursing and beyond.My new book, ‘Supporting the Transition from Breastfeeding: a Guide to Weaning for Professionals, Supporters and Parents’, is out now.You can get 10% off the book at the Jessica Kingsley press website, that's uk.jkp.com using the code MMPE10 at checkout.Follow me on Twitter @MakesMilk and on Instagram  @emmapickettibclc or find out more on my website www.emmapickettbreastfeedingsupport.comFind out more about Dr Justice at her website https://breastmed.co.uk/ and @breastmed on instagramResources mentioned - Breast imaging recommendation in pregnant and lactating women - RAD Magazine Article by Justice and Sau Lee Chang https://www.radmagazine.com/scientific-article/breast-imaging-recommendation-in-pregnant-and-lactating-women/Breastfeeding course for medical students (unfortunately no longer free): https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/an-introduction-to-breast-feeding-for-medical-studentsAmma Birth Companions https://ammabirthcompanions.org/Mummy's Star Charity https://www.mummysstar.org/Spectrum (spectrumlactation.org) and @spectrumlactation on instagramKatrina Mitchell’s website https://physicianguidetobreastfeeding.org/ABM Clinical Protocol #34: Breast Cancer and Breastfeeding https://www.bfmed.org/assets/DOCUMENTS/PROTOCOLS/Protocol%20%2334%20-%20English%20Translation.pdfBreastfeeding for Doctors https://breastfeedingfordoctors.org/This podcast is presented by Emma Pickett IBCLC, and produced by Emily Crosby Media.
