Sounds like it will (hopefully) go away in time, and is probably nothing to worry about. Whew! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts-while-breastfeeding#post-1689903 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 20:14:32 +0000 Meltini 1689903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same thing and it eventually went away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts-while-breastfeeding#post-1689691 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:09:25 +0000 gilmoregirl 1689691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had mastitis a couple times and never had any itching. Just pain. Sorry I can't help more. I had some breast pain while nursing that Google didn't explain but it eventually went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts-while-breastfeeding#post-1689672 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:53:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1689672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My breasts were itchy the entire time I breasted. I did have one bout of thrush- but it was a painful itch during that time whereas before and after it was just annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts-while-breastfeeding#post-1689651 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:31:27 +0000 mrsjazz 1689651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had mastitis or thrush but I did have itchy breasts in the arly months of breastfeeding. I just chalked it up to breasts growing and shrinking in size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-breasts-while-breastfeeding#post-1689639 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:21:11 +0000 mrsrain 1689639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 17 days old. Recently I have been experiencing itching in whichever breast I am feeding her from. It is not the nipple that is itching-- it is the entire breast. :bummed: The itching seems like it is under the surface and there is no visible cause (such as rash, stretch marks, etc).</p> <p>Background: I have been breastfeeding, pumping, and also supplementing with formula (due to excessive weight-loss in her first 24 hours). I feed her from both breasts every 2 hours during the day. At night she gets a bottle and I pump. I also pump a few times during the day. I do not feel the itching sensation when pumping.</p> <p>I tried Dr. Google and everything keeps suggesting mastitis, but I don't have any other symptoms of mastitis (pain, swollen breasts, fever, etc).</p> <p>Has anybody else had this or anything like this?? </p>
