Mines peeling too. They did with my last pregnancy and this one too... its ok. It kinda reminds me of a sun burn. Theyre super sore n sensitive as if theyre burnt and they peel every once in a while. It shouldn't be peeling layers off just kinda dry almost whitish color skin in a thin layer

Is it only on the top of the nipple, like where the milk will come out? If its only there, it could be you're leaking colostrum and it's drying on your nipple. Mine do that sometimes.

Or it could just be dry skin. I get that too. If your nipples get too dry they'll get flaky and peel, just like the skin on the rest of your body.
