Nails Breaking at bottom

[LUKESMOM2007]

about a week ago my nails began to like bubble at the bottom of the nail where the cuticle is. it look like when you have gone fake nails and they are growing out and ready to pop off. does this have anything to do with me breastfeeding..

I've never known anyone to have that happen to them while nursing, but that's not to say that it's not a possibility. A vitamin deficiency of some sorts? A fungus? IDK

Is it every nail or just some?

I don't think it has to do with breastfeeding. I agree with Red. I'd explore other possibilities.

[LUKESMOM2007]

its only a few nails that are doing it

That sounds like a nail injury or a vitamin deficiency of some sorts. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts, though, that it has nothing to do with the fact that you're breastfeeding. :)

If you develop ridges along the base of your nail bed, increase your intake of vitamin B.
