A few weeks ago I noticed I have a yellow crust on my nipples
Its not hurting but Im a bit worried about what it could be? Could it be due to me breastfeeding, like blocked ducts or something? _________________

Are you wearing anything that might rub and maybe causing your nipples to leak just a little bit? x _________________

Nope just my bra (and top ), I have had no leakages for about a month now, surely my boobs would be dry by now? _________________

I would have thought so, i just thought rubbing might stimulate them a little bit if it wasn't that long ago you stopped breastfeeding. Your nipples could be all confused .
Have you got any breastpads left? Maybe stick a couple on and see if they absorb anything that might be leaking out. At least then you'd know if there was a problem with your actual nipples rather than it being a little bit of milk.
Does that make sense cos i know what i'm trying to say, but when i reread it, it just doesn't sound right x _________________

hey Tracie
could it just be normal milk residue, but maybe your milk is really fatty at the moment cos that's what Frey needs? Cos of expressing, I got to see all the changes in my milk really clearly, and at growth spurt times it was about 50% fat, and really yellow like gold top lol. I didn't get as far as 6 months tho, so not sure if it could be that or not.

Lol yeah I have stopped breast feeding, about a month ago.
I put some breast pads in and there was nothing on them I may have to get the doc to check for me, I have lost all dignity now any way so why not have yet another person see my nips lol!!! _________________
