Flakey nipples

When I was getting ready for bed and doing my normal bedtime rroutine of lotion everywhere I noticed my nipples were very flakey, like they're chapped but no pain. Anyone else have this symptom? I'm 8wks 6days.

  • Hi Katlyn! I haven't experienced that during pregnancy bu almost always happens before a period- its probably you're boobs growing and the skin drying and flaking off. I keep moisturising with olive oil or something similar, and usually it passes.

  • It was so weird. I use cocoa butter to moisturize. I read online that nipple cream will help as well. But everything I read was for women who were father along and that was weird to me too.

    oh lordy I hope my breasts don't grow too much, I'm a 36D pre-pregnancy. They need to stay this way lol. Thanks for the help(:
  • Just use nipple cream, it works wonders, you might as well invest in it now seeming you'll be using it if you are going to breastfeed once baby arrives
