I had a first time client today whose situation stumped 
me.  I asked her permission to post here.  She is pg. 
with baby number 4.  With each of her other babies she 
said she tried breastfeeding for a few days and each time 
wound up in the emergency room with a High Fever and no 
other symptoms and was told to stop breastfeeding.  The 
fever then resolved.  I asked her if she ever tried to 
resume, she did with one baby and in a few days had a 
fever again.  Her OB is telling her not to breastfeed, 
although she says she plans to try again.  I suggested 
she speak to her doctor about trying profalatic 
tylenol/motrin or something along those lines.  Of course 
I let her know we could talk if she developed a fever so 
we could see if there is any other cause.  The only other 
remarkable thing she told me is she has a latex allergy, 
probably unrelated but I thought I'd throw that in.  
Anyone heard of this before?
