Do you mean your breasts or your nipples?
Lansinoh is good if your nipples are dry.

I use Neutrogena Body Oil when I step out of the shower, while my skin is still slightly damp, then after a few minutes, apply an all over body cream - ANY cream. I'm currently feeling festive, so I'm using Bath & Body Works Spiced Gingerbread. Smells so yummy and leaves my skin feeling doubly soft, especially with the combo of the body oil.
And DEFINITELY helps with the itchy, peeling dry nipples!

Mine are peeling too-I am 25 weeks along.After a warm shower I apply any lotion to the nipples-it helps.After the baby is born if you are going to nurse,use Lanisol cream-I think thats how you spell it.Anyway-it is safe for the baby to nurse even when you have it on and protects the breasts.

Yes it is normal... (hormonal stuff messes with your skin... my sister breaks out, my mom would get dry skin... it all depends on the person)
I would reccomend Shea Butter lotion (good brands), or better yet, use what is called "udder cream". (Yes Udder Cream!) you can get it in most drug stores, and also farm supply stores. Farmers use it on cows udders to keep them soft and so that they do not crack and get infected (and infect the milk)
It will work great, and is not that greasy. Use after every shower and before bed at night.
Good Luck!
