itchy nipples

[thecatsarecrazy]

I'm almost 15 weeks, for a few weeks now my nipples have been constantly itchy. Can anyone recommend anything? A quick google search said something about using cream? Any ideas?

I thought I was the only one! Following to see if anyone suggests anything.

Aww its driving me mad. I could probably do with a bigger bra. I keep having crafty scratch but it doesn't help

Have you been fitted for a pregnant bra? I got fitted yesterday and hoping that will help!

No, I don't even know where to go we don't even have a mother care near us anymore.

I had really itchy boobs all over during the first trimester not just nipples, I bought the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion with Shea Butter from Tesco and put it on after shower in morning and before bed that helped me

Someone bought me the mamma mio nipple cream and it was a God send I smothered it on religiously twice a day from around 18 weeks. Your breast are undergoing a lot of change in prep for breastfeeding so will feel very itchy and irritated! Very normal I think. X

Sorry just to add on..
John Lewis and M&S do good maternity bras but I wouldn't buy any until you're almost due as your boobs will get even bigger especially after baby.. they're only good for nursing anyway.
For now I'd go to M&S and get measured again and buy a comfy supportive normal bra. No need to spend a lot of money.
Boots and some larger supermarkets sell good nipple cream you can check out

Thank you I will have a look

Dream Cream from Lush is very good. Very soothing.

I remember this from last time, it's awful. Haven't had it this time but that could be because my 14 month old is breastfeeding what feels like constantly...

Oh, I'm 31+5 and my nipples get super itchy! I have been moisturising after my shower and they're much better. Got to go and get some nursing bras this week or next too.

If you can't get to a mothercare, I'd suggest m&s. Debenhams isn't particularly good.

Asda maternity comfort bras have saved me from boob overspill and digging in wires, and I am smothering my nipples in vaseline twice a day for the itching!!

Very smooth cups in your bras, no seams at all if possible.

I had this and eventually worked out I was reacting to my washing powder. Do keep on top of it, I needed steroid cream in the end.
