Hello, I am Françoise Coudray, from ADJ+ in France (breastfeeding twins and more), and if I do not answer the messages since I am on Lactnet, I try to read regularly all the messages - really interesting - many things to learn to share....; At the moment I have a mother Anna, she is expecting her second baby for August; she suffered urticaria while breastfeeds for her first baby 10 years ago; I had a look at all the clinical cases on Dossiers de l'Allaitement (Files of Breastfeeding) of LLL since 1999 and I sent her the two ones I had found; I asked her some questions, here are the answers below my signature; I called her by phone last week, she is okay to share her phone number and email on the list lactnet, because she is supposed to give birth in August and I find nothing else except the two cases I sent her and I feel no connexion with her former trouble; she may give birth by Caesarean again, nothing is sure but in France, most of secondary births after a caesarian ARE caesarian; maybe one of you has ideas, knows other cases... During my first week of formation to become lactation consultant, I asked some speakers but this case seems to be rare and undefined; what is the allergen? And below, is her last answer and the message she was answering to and at the far end, her first message; Thanks for your helps, Hope my translation is okay!
