  • Mine get itchy occasionally, but normally only lasts a minute or two. Try some lotion. When I started using lotion to help prevent any stretch marks, the itching seemed to go down.

  • Yep. my boobs have been itching since I got pregnant. After I shower I lotion them and my belly up with Vaseline coco butter lotion. It seems to do the trick for me.

  • I like Cetaphil, but I seriously have to remind myself not to scratch. When I do, I pretty much have to throw in the towel on life to scratch my boobs.

  • I've been having a similar problem, eccept it's only my nipples that itch like crazy. It's so bad I broke down and asked my dr what i could do. She suggested Lanolin cream, she said it would also help prepare the nipples for breastfeeding (for those mommies that are considering it).

  • Ditto the lanolin.  That is what was recommended to me by my Doc.You should be able to find it at your local Target/BRU etc. in with the nursing supplies.  
  • Mine were really itching this morning as well!  Definitely going to pick up some lanolin, thanks for the recs!
  • Lanolin and you may want to consider ditching the lotion on your nipples. You can't use lotion on them while BF, only lanolin.
  • Thanks Ladies!!!! Lanolin it is!!! On my way to the store now :D
    Happy to be a mom :)
