    Hi Ladies,

    I know that it is very common that breasts grow during pregnancy (as am a 2nd time mom), but I feel it itchy for the past few days. It is dry(not too much) but itchy at times. I heard that lanolin creams should be applied to avoid cracks during bf ing. But, what about now? My next dr appointment is on friday and i have to wait for 2 more days to check with her.

    Anyone had itchy breats? Any creams helped you and is it safe during pregnancy? Please let me know. :help

    I have had with first. Apply some oil everyday at night or any aloe cream that should help. I use Vaseline aloe body lotion.

    Anitha,

    On the same note, I am getting itching on my belly.. I can see tiny white flakes on it too..I am afraid to put any lotion on my tummy as am afraid it may harm the babies..

    Please let me know what can we do about the itching..

    Coconut or olive oil should be safe. I am not a person that lean towards stretch mark creams.
