Nipple skin peeling

Hey, is anyone else experiencing nipples peeling ? I am 34 weeks pregnant and it’s been a week my nipples get dry quickly and started to peel.
Thank you

If you mean right on the tip of your nipple, it may be a bit of dried colostrum. I’ve been getting it quite a bit. It does sort of seem like little bits of dried skin as it’s dried. I’ve found I just have to wash it a little extra than normal when I have a shower/bath. Sorry, I can’t help if it is dried skin. Have you brought any nipple cream? That may help if it is dried skin ❤️

Lanolin nipple balm helps with this

thanks Ellie, yes it’s like little bits of skin lifting up on nipples and alreolla but not fully able to peel it off like if it was a sunburn.
I will start applying nipple cream. Thank you

omg yes i had this in my second trimester a lot. i started wearing maternity bras and it stopped, i think they’re more sensitive and my bra was irritating the skin
