Did you know about Goldsmith's sign?

Did you know that if a child persistently refuses to nurse on one breast it could be Goldsmith's sign, a sign of breast cancer? There are many possible explanations as to why a baby may refuse one breast and nurse exclusively from the other side, but cancer is one of them. A persistent, otherwise unexplained, refusal to nurse on one breast warrants a trip to a health care provider for evaluation. Please keep in mind that it is possible to see Goldsmith's sign before conventional diagnostic techniques can detect cancer.
