Hi girls, I've posted this question to Barb but I'd like input from anyone who can tell me if it's normal for your nipples to be a little bit itchy? I am concerned it may be thrush as I did take antibiotics for 2 days before DS was born and for 5 days after for an infected tooth. My nipples seem to be less itchy when not covered up and I was wondering if the damp environment was to blame for the itchiness (even though I'm using breast pads). Anyway I am not having any other discomfort as such and bubs is still feeding well but if it is the early signs of thrush I'd like to clear it up before it gets any worse. If it's not normal to have any itchiness than what is the treatment for thrush on the nipples?
