Nipples are insanely itchy!

[mummy of many]

Hi ya kitt3n, I found using Ice cubes,worked wonders,lol. good luck hun.

Just wondering, would the cabbage work for hands and underneath the breasts too? I'm constantly itchy in those places and it's getting to the point where they are going numb yet still itching, although my OB doesn't see anything wrong with it.

JennaJayen, I've never prescribed it for application there so I dont know, by all means give it a go, I would suggest under the breasts may work well and the hands, being tougher, may take longer to respond. Please let us know how you get on..

[JennaJayen]

Thank you for that. I'll try it tonight.

[Justin Keane]

let me know how you get on and if its something more stubborn we can try to organise some effective treatment for you.

It worked wonders last night while it was on there, but once it was off I started to get itchy again.

Found out why at my ob appointment today, my nerves are being overstretched and are sorta short-circuiting a bit.

Thanks heaps though, I got a bit of a nap in yesterday arvo because of it.

Mine drove me crazy most of my pg! The BEST thing was Lansinoh (the nipple cream stuff in the purple tube). It really helped to soothe the itching (and was great for the early days of BFing too ). I put it on each day after my shower. Oh, and make sure you don't get any soap-type things anywhere near your nipples!

Good luck hun, it's sooo annoying!
