Is anybody else having this happen?

Do any of  you have skin peeling off of your nipples? I have noticed this lately on me. I dont remember this happening with my other two children, but its been a while.

Lol, thats funny. Yah, my fiance and i use the caress body wash. Its the white pearly looking one. I love it. Ill have to remember to use my body cream. I am sure that will help. At first I thought it was from me leaking and then drying already but I am pretty sure its just dry skin. thanks for all the info. I appreciate it.

I had that earlier in my pregnancy, now at 32 weeks I'm already starting to leak. I wore a tank top to bed the other night and the next morning woke up with crusty like circles. I didn't even notice it my husband did. We've been together for 14 years and already have one child together, but I was so embarrassed!

Oh yeah, I used a body butter cream after each shower when mine were peeling on my entire mid section from hips to shoulders to try to ease the stretch marks. Also, take warm or cooler showers. I read somewhere that hot water dries out your skin and I changed my soap to caress and that helped a lot! In fact myhusband started using it and his elbows were kind of rough and they softened right up too. He says he wants to tell the guys he works with when he sees crusty elbows but doesn't want to appear "fruity". LOL!

I have noticed my nipples are really dry too.  I even had little cuts appear.  I dont really remember this with my other 2 either.

I don't know if it's the same thing but mine have been really dry and cracked looking.  I've been using lanolin atleast once a day (when i remember) and it seems to help.
