Itchy nipples.

Kind of embarrassing. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and have incredibly itchy nipples. I've tried putting my regular moisturiser on them but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I can try?

Try lansinoh cream. I had this all through my pregnancy and used this cream when I was breastfeeding. I often wondered if it would have eased the itchiness. Have a go and let me know

No advice but mine were really really itchy too!!!

It did ease but sadly the tender boobs haven't. Just rolling over in bed hurts!!!

Mine comes and goes. I use Vaseline but I hear that's not actually the best thing to use so maybe try Lansinoh!

Lansinoh and make sure they're kept clean. I remember the itching well.

Thanks everyone. It seems the general consensus is Lansinoh so I'll try and get some. It's literally driving me up the wall. I'm glad other people have experienced it and it's not just me!

Horrible, isn't it? Mine were itchy but under control now (I just use a body butter every day) - doesn't help that they're now the size of dinner plates.
