choleostasis/nighties

[occludo]

Hi All,
I'm asking on behalf of my wife. She has found this forum very useful but has declined to join. She has a problem, can't find the answer and thinks other people may find it petty but I can see how much discomfort she is in.
She doesn't have choleostasis (or so the doctor says for what it is worth) but severe itching. She has one light cotton nightie but cannot find any more. Why is it important? She is having a CS so will be in hospital for a few days, will have to dispose of a few nighties, hospitals are very hot and she is itching like crazy.
The nightie will need to have buttons for breastfeeding. Where can we get some? If any of you can help, I would be most grateful.

Hi

Has she thought about cream/moisturiser for the itch? I'm 40+3 and couldn't manage without my mamma mio, it's for stretch marks (managed to escape those entirely) but also great for itchy skin - not cheap though.

Nighties - i got cheap strappy ones from M&S to just slide off the shoulder for feeding. But there are button down ones from mothercare or jojomamanbebe (discount from mumsnet) or blooming marvelous depending on how much you want to spend. Links are to examples, but they have quite a few.

Thanks for that, she has tried all the creams. Currently on aloe vera as the best option. Apparently coal tar soap is the best but we can't find any. We've checked M&S and mothercare but will check the others. Thanks again

Amazon do a coal tar soap but not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Hope the itch stops soon.
