I have been bfing for 2 weeks now and my boobs itch so bad.  Anyone else have this happen?  Anything I can do about it?

    I can't bf anymore, but when I could I used lanolin cream to help with that. It worked really well for me.  I used the Medela brand but they are all pretty much the same.

    Is it between feedings that you itch?  Mind itched like crazy when they got full.  They don't anymore.

    I could never use diposable nursing pads because they made it worse - don't know if that helps.

    Mine itched too, but they don't anymore.  I think taking warm showers helps.

    Thanks! They itch all the time.  Sometimes I think it is the pads but it itches in spots the pads don't touch.  I will try the lansinoh and see if that helps.

    Mine used to itch too.  I agree the disposable pads really make them itch.

    Mine did early on too. It went away. A lactation consultant friend told me some people just get itchy boobs when they breastfeed. I was worried it would last longer.?

    I'm not sure what to do but wanted to say my arm pits always itch when I start to nurse...so strange!
