itchy boobs

okay so i know someone just posted a topic on itchy breasts but it was not what i wanted to know. I just had my baby a week ago and my milk came in last weekend and my breasts got huge and i am starting to notice stretch marks all underneath them. They also have become extremely itchy! It gets so bad that i have been taking tylenol to ease the annoying itch. I dont know what to do and i was also wondering if your stretch marks get worse and worse over time?

the itch might be from streching.

Don't worry I know the feeling I gotta 5 week old Baby!! Did lotion help? Oh and if your nipples get to sore try a nipple shield, (walmart pharmacy). Also try to pump a little out before latching your LO. Saved my life.

i got stretch marks on my boobs before i even had milk like when i was 5 months pregnant...they were very itchy! make sure you dont scratch them or they get worse!...now that i have milk the are gigantic and hard like i got implants lol but the stretch marks are almost gone so urs will prob go away in a few months
