I'm 29 weeks and well my nipples get itchy very often so i use vicks to soothe the itch. I noticed dry small white stuff and googled around about it. Then i read something about if you squeeze your boobs milk might come out...lol tmi but i tried it and it worked i think its super cool. Im so excited to breastfeed. (:
