What causes chronic urticaria angeoedema?
Anaphylaxis in a breastfeeding woman is a rare medical condition. Symptoms occur in the breastfeeding mother, and can include urticaria and angioedema shortly after the woman breastfeeds, although symptoms can be more severe and even include anaphylaxis. The cause of breastfeeding allergy is not completely clear, but most likely involves various hormones that are active during breastfeeding, such as prolactin and oxytocin. A report of breastfeeding allergy occurred in a woman three days after the birth of a third child, and only during breastfeeding. Similar symptoms happened after the birth of her second child. Other causes of allergy, including to foods, medicines, and latex, were not found. Women who experience allergic reactions with breastfeeding may be able to control symptoms with the use of antihistamines. Those with severe symptoms should have access to injectable epinephrine and may consider stopping breastfeeding.

Do you still get a menstrual cycle when breastfeeding?
It depends if a woman has begun ovulating yet or not. Breastfeeding most likely suppresses ovulation as long as a woman is breastfeeding pretty consistently around the clock, although some women's menstrual cycle may return even while breastfeeding anyway. Stress and separation from the child for prolonged periods of time (or even just a few hours in the day), especially at night, tend to cause ovulation. Breastfeeding's effect on the body by suppressing ovulation is nature's way of telling the mother that her body is occupied raising a child (or children) and is not physically ready to raise more. If the woman does not become pregnant upon ovulation while breastfeeding then a menstrual cycle will return. A woman can still breastfeed while menstruating although it might change the taste of the milk for the child.

Breastfeeding and pregnancy?
The question is a little vague...but it is possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. Some women will not have a period the entire time they are lactating, while other women resume their monthly cycle 2-3 months after giving birth. This varies from woman to woman and from the frequency of breastfeeding. Just because you haven't had a period, does not mean you are not ovulating. Typically a woman ovulates 2 weeks before her period. So you can ovulate before ever getting your first postpartum period. Breastfeeding also increases your chances of conceiving twins. If you are trying to conceive and would like twins, then try to get pregnant during your first postpartum period. The reason for this is because your body has not ovulated since you conceived the baby you are nursing, and sometimes when ovulation kicks in again, it can be cause hyperovulation where your ovary or ovaries release more then one egg. If you are pregnant and breastfeeding, this is perfectly fine. As long as your doctor is comfortable with the fetus growing and developing properly, then you can nurse as long as you like. If your doctor doesn't think the baby is getting adequate nutrition, or you are not consuming enough calories, you may want to stop or cut back the nursing frequency.
Can the mother get a rash from breastfeeding?
