Hi. First. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This may sound strange, but it happens to me now and then. Could it be that your body and skin is simply dehydrated. Are you drinking your 8-10 glasses of water a day? Reason I ask is that I know that having a new baby causes much stress and major changes in routine and schedules, and sometimes results in mommy not taking as good care of herself then she is used to (possibly holding your urine longer, eating less, sleeping less, more caffeine, less water etc). Make it a habit to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and see if it changes. It could also just be stress related. when I a stressed sometimes \i get little eczema type itchy bumps on my elbow which to me is an indication that \i need to relax more and de stress...Things like baking soda and oatmeal can help too. Instead of writing it all down just go to this site http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/home-remedies-for-itching.htm and it may help.....and try not to scratch......hope u feel less itchy soon..;)
