A physician friend recommended having mom pre-emptively take a half dose
of liquid benedryl every 4-6 hours for a week or so when I had a client
with a similar situation. She (the doc) felt that the small dose would
prevent the histamine response, but that it would take a much larger
dose to interrupt it after it started. After 2 weeks, this reaction
totally went away and mom continued to breastfeed without a problem.
