If the hives are caused by mom's allergy or sensitivity - the baby should not be effected, but taking antihistamines can cause a marked, temporary decrease in breast milk and infants are especially sensitive to the effects of antihistamines (including sleepiness, restlessness, irritability) discuss the benefits and/or possible side effects with your doctor before taking antihistamines while breast feeding.
Common side effects of antihistamines are drowsiness, which is why you should never drive or operate heavy machinery when taking them, dizziness, restlessness, nervousness and upset stomach. Other side effects, which aren't as common are dry mouth, dry nose, irritability, difficulty urinating and blurred vision. In most cases, the side effects from antihistamines are barely noticeable. However, the real problem with taking these drugs is not so much from what they do to you, but from what they don't do.

Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).

No, you do not take two antihistamines at the same time. You may choose either benadryl OR Claritin, but not both. Overdosing on antihistamines causes severe sedative effects which might make you become confused or pass out. You might have trouble breathing. You will get twice the drying out effects, and will almost certainly get a splitting sinus headache or nosebleed.
