I just had my Son on Tuesday and Im breastfeeding. I noticed the other day that I've gotton a rash all over my Breast and stomache. But only the rash on my stomache itches. I didnt get this with my 1st child when I breastfeed. Is this common or could it just be a allergic reaction to something?

Call your doctor. A friend of mine had a very very small lump in her breast. Her friend told her to come exercise with her. when she did her breast turned all red. she went to the hospital and it was cancer and her whole breast had to be removed! TELL YOUR DOCTOR about the rash ASAP in case!

Definitely, call the doctor. I have never heard of breast feeding causing a rash. It may just be a coincidence that the rash is also on your breasts. If I had to guess... allergic reaction, but see a professionals advice.

What drugs did you have during labor? I got an itchy rash for about two weeks after delivery, on my belly and across my chest. I ignored it, because thats just what I tend to do. It went away.
I think its hormones, coupled with the drugs from delivery.
My grandmother always got itchy hives when pregnant, and when first breast feeding each child. Ask your relatives if they ever had something similar.
Our bodies react to stress differently. Some bodies react with hives and itches.

It might be a heat rash from the warmth and dampness of the baby against you.

It sounds like thrush.....I've had that problem not to long ago But not on my stomache..Does your baby have white patches in his/her mouth?? Call your doctor and get this resolved you don't want this this to prolong any worst.

it could just be dehydration of the skin. theres a special lotion for that that you can buy at almost any drug store. just slather it on and it should go away . if not then I suggest contacting a doctor just in case :)

Never has this, call your doctor. You don't want it to spread to your baby if it can.
