Postpartum 4weeks now . i've itchy breasts and there are reddish streaks below my left nipple. is this a normal change after delivery?

Maybe not: The red streaks could be a sign of a developing infection so you need to have your breasts checked. I am assuming you are breast feeding, so meanwhile it is very important that you continue, and moist heat to the breasts may also be helpful.
