So my nipples...

Are DRY and peeling. Like as if I went tanning and got burned. Ick. Quite disgusting and no matter how much lotion I use, they stay the same!

Re: So my nipples...

  • Lansinoh lanolin cream works for this--reg.lotion will prob dry them out more.  i had the same thing when i was pregnant with DD.  just put it at night before you go to bed--make sure you wear something you don't care about though, it may leave a residue.

  • Mine itch like crazy!!!  I tried lotion, but it would only work for a few hours then I was back to thoughts of cutting them off and scratching until I could get to a restroom or home and lotion up again.  I tried Vaseline a few hours ago, and so far so good.  Mine don't look dry, but they sure are red and irritated.

    This. I love that goo. Also, you will probably need it anyway if you decide you want to BF.

  • OUCH :(

    Definitely try some lanolin.

  • Mine too, and they're awfully itchy! I leave marks on myself.

    I second this. That stuff works miracles I tell you.

    Mine too!  I used Burts Bee's Mama Bee oil after shower and it is helping. It is so weird.
