Itchy boobs / nipples?

Anyone else got or had really itchy boobs and nipples?!

I'm only 17 weeks. It's driving me mad! Any solutions greatly appreciated!!

I either put cold water on them to cool them off or I put baby oil on them..

Just keep in mind after they started to itch, since then milk is coming out.. :-)

I'm now 22 weeks pregnant.. So 18 + weeks before someone can drink it. :-)

I've had this too...think it's because they grow so fast! Cabbage leaves are surprisingly effective.

I can just imagine driving along the motorway with cabbage leaves on my nipples!

Or whipping my top off to splash myself with cold water in the work toilets Smile

Mind you. Might be better than sitting at my desk surreptitiously trying to itch down my bra!

my nipples have been really itchy, I reality looking at them they were just really dry so now I put vaseline on them twice a day and they're much better!! will switch to more expensive lanisole when baby is here!!

mine have been itchy too! driving me bonkers! nothing worse than needing to relieve it when you,re out and about!

Mine have been itchy too. Am 21+6 today and they just get worse and worse, I'm sure they do. I wasn't sure what to do, I was just putting moisturiser on them. Having a hot shower is living hell

Snap and at 25 weeks i am going out of my mind. My boobs are bleeding from me scratching!

I also get itchy nipples but I'm only 10 weeks! Cool water does seem to help Smile

My boobs don't really seem to have grown any (I'm only an A cup anyway) but definitely feel different and I have some little white bumps on my nipples too.

Lansinoh for the nipples. For itchy boobs I like to just have a good scratch Grin Going braless helped for me (I'm a small C cup pre-preg, so it was an option for me).
