Itchy nipples?

Question

Anyone else who is breastfeeding have itchy nipples? I’m trying to figure out if this is par the course or if I could have thrush? I’m a bit over 3 weeks pp.

Answer

YES! 14 months pp and my nipples will still itch sometimes. We had thrush in the beginning (it was horrible)  my ped claims that it itches when the milk is about to let down. Obviously that’s not the case with me because they itch afterwards. I think it might be because my LO gets where he will just play around with it and not actually nurse, therefore he doesnt have a proper latch. 
Maybe speak to your lactation consultant about it. Good luck !

Answer

It could be. But if you have cracks from poor latch, they’ll itch too.

Answer

I should also mention my little girl had a tongue tie and got a revision and also has some issues latching.
