Itchy Boobs?
posted 16th Feb
So for the past few days my boobs have been REALLY itchy, I've tried wearing different bras that are made of different fabrics, I've tired not wearing one, I've even tried cortisone 10 cream...nothing seems to be helping...Any ideas on what I can try? I'm sure its because my milk is starting to come in but still.....The itchiness is driving me crazy.

lube those puppies up with some lotion or maybe coco butter? Since your boobs are growing and the skin is stretching you are itching...Just remember when your nursing if you have a lot of lotion maybe clean off the nipple so there is no weird taste?

Milk doesn't come in until after baby arrives, but mine have been itchy too. In my case, it's because they're stretching and growing. Lotion with oatmeal and shea butter soothes them.

Milk doesn't come in until after baby is born. But my boobs were really itchy during pregnancy as well. Shea butter lotion worked wonders for me.

Thanks, I'll try the Shea/Coco Butter. Hopefully that works. I'm dealing with a cold as well and the itchiness is just making me feel worse.

I would lotion them, I had this too. Also your milk doesn't come in until after baby is born.
