Generally speaking stretch marks are best prevented by keeping the skin adequate moist and well nourished throughout the pregnancy. With proper care stretch marks can reduce a lot in visibility then what they are right now.
The treatment available range from skin care products to laser phototherapy depending on the extent of problems.
Next Steps
she should use a good quality skin moisturizer like Bio-Oil which is made specifically for this purpose. She should take capsule Vit E once a day as it is very good for skin and hair and doesnt interfere with feeding.
If the results are not upto her mark she can always go in for laser therapy
Health Tips
certain drugs used in stretch mark treatment like tretinoin are dangerous to the baby if used during breastfeeding. So its advisable that you mention that you are breastfeeding to the doctor when you take consult.
