Okay so I'm not leaking or anything but my nipples are very rough like crusty and when I shower or rub them little pieces come off. I don't know if this is normal it's been like that since about 15 weeks and I'm 26 now may be a prego thing

    Theres a cream out there for nipples, i think its called penaton or something like that for dry nipples. Ask the drug store

    They aren't swollen, red or in pain.... It's like little peices of skin @isaiahnjocelynsmommy

    I have some bad dry skin lately too!! Lotion yourself up. To restore your skin back to baby smooth.
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    Thanks @happymama92

    @ebbry89 I really thought it was just me it's actually kinda weird and I could do without it
  • magcawmagcaw
    are you sure it's skin and not dried colostrum?
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    I usually use scented lotion from like bath n body works or victorias secret but is that healthy to have on my nipples I wouldnt want it to be embedded in my skin when I breast feed
  • ebbry89ebbry89
    Nope its def not you its just dry skin i pick @ mines lol
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    @magcaw I really don't know because there is never any stains or anything in my bra nor do I leak
  • magcawmagcaw
    @mom4the1sttime Yeah, I don't ever have stains either, but I've had this happen to me with all my pregnancies and it's exactly the same as it is a few weeks after my milk is mostly dried up (after delivery). As you get further it will prob start to leak a little more (which is somehow less gross, lol).

    I read in my baby book to avoid washing your nipples with soap everytime you take a shower.
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    @magcaw oh I guess it would be less gross then dry nipples lol at least I won't be picking stuff off everyday

    I have the same thing happening to me. Been since 16 wks, am going on 31. Its crusty and sometimes dark. I showed my dr and they said run lanolin on nipples and its normal. That it's colostrum starting
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    @leggs2011 omg that is so impossible lol how do you do that
  • Leggs2011Leggs2011
    idk.. It just said to not scrub your nips with soap.. Id try the cream too.
  • Mom4the1stTimeMom4the1stTime
    Thanks I will try that @seifer12211

    I had dry nips for a while. I switched to Gold Bond body wash for another reason, and I love it, definitely less drying. And I oil and butter up my boobs when I do my tummy. I haven't noticed dryness in a while. As long as I moisturize regularly, it's all good.

    hope it helps. Thanks for starting this thread, my hubby was like are u the only one, now I can tell him it happens to other women as well
  • momof22bemomof22be

    Thanks everyone for your input I'm glad it's not just me that this happens to. I will try anything to get my soft nipples back
