    Anyone else get this?? It's driving me crazy!

    The iitchyness on the outer side of breast! Mostly I just get it when full but I was just feeding DS and the sides of both of them are crazy itchy it's driving me insane. Is there anything that helps so I don't scratch them to pieces lol.



    Excuse any typos I'm on my iPhone

    I get that too sometimes... Just the skin and not anywhere near the nipples (or could be thrush). With me I think it's dry skin from my boobs expanding when they get too full because if I use a heavy duty moisturiser on the skin for a day or so the itching goes.

    I used to get that when DS was little and it used to drive me nuts! I never could figure out what caused it!

    Yep. I had that too. Never did figure it out either.... can I just say that it probably wasn't the most attractive look scratching my boobs like a flea-bitten hound in Coles while waiting at the checkout

    I second this. I think if the nipple is itchy it could be thrush.

    Yeah it's nowhere near the nipple just the outer side of the breast.

    I get it too, and also wondered if it was just me! Drives me nuts!

    Yep itchy boobies here too. I find it mainly when feeding and figured it might be a let down thing???? Or as someone suggested the skin moving?

    I get this too and I find the skin is so much drier there when I'm feeding, hence the itching. Moisturiser helps me.
