Why do breasts burn and itch after feeding?

Burning and itching sensations in the breasts after feeding can be attributed to several factors, including irritation from friction during breastfeeding, hormonal changes, or skin conditions like eczema. Additionally, nipple soreness or damage from improper latch can lead to discomfort. It’s also possible that milk leakage or moisture can cause skin irritation. If symptoms persist or are severe, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.
