Itchy boobies

[raffy]

Sooo unfortunately we've come to the end of our BF journey, well EBM fed journey, it's driving me batty and I simply can't do it anymore, so I've started weaning, use to be pumping every 4 hours, now 6 hours soon will start every 8 and so on until it's gone. I've already noticed a decrease in my milk to, but my boobs are sooooooo itchy, I thought it was just when I was engorged but I've just pumped 125ml+ from each and they are still so itchy, what is it and is there anything I could do to help?

what part of your boobies?

the skin, the nipples, underneath?

have you tried moisturising?

[raffy]

It's pretty much everything but the nipple and areola. It's driving me insane

[peanutter]

could it be that the skin is dry, either because your boobies are growing or reducing?

I know that mine sometimes get itchy at those times, and I find that some moisturisers help ... bio-oil and calendula cream are my favourites.

Thanks peanutter, I had some bio oil so I'll give that a go
