White stuff on nipples and it came off!
I know this is TMI, but I am a little concerned about this. The other day my boobs were itching, so I scratched them through my shirt, but that didn't help. I had to take off my bra and shirt and scratch. Then my nipple started itching and I have noticed over the past few weeks there is white spots on the nipple part (I just assumed it was a way of my body preparing a way for the milk to come out). I scratched very gently but the white stuff came off!! It was mushy and I started to freak out a little. Does anyone know what this is?

Hmm, it could be some early colustrum or discharge. Its not uncommon. Also, I think you could get thrush even without a nursing infant, that might explain the itch. Also, your skin and nipples are extra sensitive during this time, so maybe you need to try a gentler soap or detergent? Be sure to check with your doc!
Thank you :) I was unsure of what it was and I forgot to ask my doctor when I went. I'm glad to hear its nothing serious.
