Any breastfeeding mamas with hormone imbalance or bad skin?

I do

Don't know about the hormone thing but my skin is acne-ridden, itchy, lumpy and sore at 7months bfing.

I would be demanding roacutane if it wasn;t for the BFing thing.

Yup. Lots of chin spots, and my scalp has become insanely sensitive so that most shampoos are making it crusty and itchy.

I look lovely...

I had this with dd1 too. Dd2 is 8 months old.. My skin is always best when pregnant!! Some days it's fine, then most it's acne, and even on my chest and neck too now as we'll as my face.

I know I need to eat more nutritiously and drink more fluid but I just forget whilst having two of them!

I take pregnancy re breastfeeding vitamins, and also perfectly for my skin.. I have only had two periods since having dd2, which started about six weeks ago. So hormone build up maybe?

I've got bad skin too at 6 mo BF. Bit of hormones I think (periods back at 4 mo which I feel v cheated about, huff!) but mainly I think its dehydration. I can realise its been literally hours since I drank anything with one and another. Need to get bottles of water again in various rooms.

All glam eh :)

Yep. Been bad since early pg, baby is 9mo now. Vaguely hoping the eventual return of my periods might fix it.
