There are all kinds of varying degrees of this but mine was similar with itching and then a bit of burning/needles after feeding. </p> <p>I was able to keep things at bay by washing bras frequently in hot water and using nursing pads. After nursing I would take a cotton ball wet with vinegar and wipe off my nipple and surrounding areas. </p> <p>If it is thrush you will need to probably go see the pediatrician because you can pass it back and forth from your breast to the baby's mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts#post-178479 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:11:45 +0000 pelikila 178479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps it is your skin stretching? I used Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream on my breasts and EMAB's Natural Nipple Butter on my nipples prior to and during breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts#post-178464 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:58:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 178464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had the itchiest breasts since I've been breastfeeding. It is borderline painful, and I itch them so much that I now leave scabs on the sides of my breasts. Does anyone know of anything that can help this? It's driving me crazy! </p>
