Might be mastitis: This might be an early sign of a breast infection called mastitis. A lactation consultant can help your wife with breastfeeding concerns. If the itching continues or she has pain or swelling of her breasts, she should be seen by a physician has breastfeeding management knowledge. Many things can be done to relieve symptoms and continue breastfeeding.
