Lactnetters,

A mother b'feeding her third child broke out in hives two days post partum.
The first location, with blisters, was abdomen and chest.  After this
initial stage she now, at three weeks pp, has a rash "all over"--legs arms
etc.  Having had "pregnancy hives" with her first child she inquired of her
ped. whether the hormones of b'feeding could be causing it.  This is the
first child she has b'fed.  He doesn't know but is considering the possibility.

What do you think? (other than any thing that is different this time is
probably caused by breastfeeding)
