Can you all suggest something for dry skin/nipples (tmi!). My skin is SUPER sensitive and the Palmers stuff I bought made my nipples super itchy, but I noticed my skin is a lot drier now. I was thinking of Burts Bee's but apparently the pregnancy butter stuff contains a bad ingredient and it gets bad reviews.
Re: Good Body Lotion?
I had the same problem with my nipples while I was pg... I put lanolin on them and it worked like a charm. If you are going to bf you will want it anyway.
For lotion I used this stuff called Udderly Smooth. Target used to carry it but I can't seem to find it anymore. It isn't very expensive and doesn't smell which I really liked.
I would use lanolin on my nipples. Lansinoh makes some, but I'm sure there are other companies too.
I still use Jergen's on the rest of my body, but I mix it half/half with body cream (really thick stuff) from Bath & Body works.

If you're planning to BF, definitely go ahead and get in the habit of not putting anything else on your nipples other than lanolin. Get the Lansinoh brand- it's the best.
I really like Aveeno lotion. That's what I used throughout my pregnancy. I had really dry, itchy skin while I was pregnant. :P

Mikey, that is what I have been doing. I was just wondering if there was something good as an all over cream that wouldn't irrate me. I think I will look into the Aveeno stuff. I never had this issue pre-pregnancy.
I really like Cetaphil cream. I use it all over in the winter when my skin is the most dry. I also like that I can use it on my face, where my confused skin gets both dry and zitty. I also like Curel.. GL
I like the Jergens PG lotion for all over body.

I have super sensitive skin too. I used Mama Mio. It's overpriced, but I really liked it. After I ran out of two jars I switched to Tummy Honey Butter from BRU (because it was less expensive). It was so greasy I quit using it regularly though.
