A member asked:

When after ceasing breastfeeding should self breast checks resume?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I wouldn't cease: Since a breast feeding woman can develop a cancerous mass, i encourage them to continue regular checks during the process. Talk with your ob, please. Although the process will be different, it is worth becoming acquainted with the changed form during lactation & still be able to recognise a change.
