My nipples, mostly my left one itches a lot. It can be annoying soetimes when Im in public, otherwise, I just scratch it. lol

Anyone else? Is there a reason for this. It doesnt hurt or anything and I only breastfeed.

    This may sound weird, but I dont care.. When its itching, I love when she latches cause its like... less work I have to do. It feels good in a relieving way, not a nasty way (AT ALL!) lol

    With my mom and a couple of other woman I know, itchy nipples was a sign they had thrush.

    I've also read itchy nipples is a sign of thrush.

    If its not thrush then its most likely your letdown reflex letting you know there is milk there ready for baby.

    My doctor said it is from the baby sucking. My lo was sucking so vigorously that I had small bilsters (only one really noticeable looked like blood blister). They healed up and itchy went away.
