I have a similar case. A woman had hives on her arms (especially the inside
of her arms) and her tummy during and after nursing for a couple of hours.
She was nursing her twins, had lots of milk and she called me bc she still
felt her breasts filling up sometimes. This was 1,5 months after weaning.

Two weeks after quitting, she offered the breast to one of her sons, and
again she got the hives.

Does anyone an idea what it is?
