To sign *boob* (or breast), form a cupped handshape with your hand, keeping your fingers together and slightly curved as if holding a small bowl. Place the cupped hand against your chest directly over the breast area, with your palm facing inward and slightly upward. Hold or tap it lightly against your body to indicate the location and shape. While the video shows one hand, you can also use both hands simultaneously to refer to both breasts.
To express this, you can sign 'baby', 'want', and then use the sign for 'boob' to indicate nursing. This is a common and natural way to discuss feeding an infant in ASL.
You would sign 'October', 'boob' (or breast), 'cancer', and 'awareness'. Using the standard sign for 'boob' is appropriate and expected in medical or health-related contexts like this.
Sign 'my', use both hands to sign 'boob' to indicate the plural, and then use the sign for 'pain' or 'hurt' near your chest to describe the soreness.
