Itchy breasts

Mindy • So excited to have our first. A little boy in February!
I am a first time mom, my son is a week old and I have been exclusively breastfeeding him. Is it normal for your breasts to start itching? I pump when I can (trying to start a schedule). Nothing else besides just itching. I'm just curious if it's normal or not

My skin on my breasts got dried out almost flaky sort of itchy. I assumed it was from LO being so close wearing sleepers all the time. I hydrated more and used lotion. It went away.

I got this and didn't know why. Health visitor suggested switching brand of breastpads and it worked. I was just using disposable ones to start with, now I use washable ones and they are so much more comforty.
