Unexplained rash while bf

[HappyBump]

hi
I am bf my 4 week old DS and last night I developed a rash on my back, which is now spreading to my neck and face. I can't get an appointment with a doctor (or seem to get hold of anyone to speak with) until tomorrow morning (I live overseas).

I haven't noticed a rash on DS or any change in him yet.

My diet hasn't changed nor has my washing powder and I don't have any other symptoms.

Has anyone experienced this? and will it impact my milk/newborn?

Sorry don't really know about the rash, but you could ring the NCT helpline:
Breastfeeding Line - 0300 330 0771
8am?10pm, seven days a week.

Apparently you can ring from overseas too.
Hope you get it sorted. Maybe someone with more knowledge will come along soon.

Thanks. I managed to go and see the doctor this morning and although the rash is still there the doctor said that it should be fine for the baby. He doesn't seem to be affected at all.

I think it might be a bite of some sort which I have reacted to ... my ears are so swollen I now have cauliflower ears ... lovely!

Glad you and the baby are OK.
Hope the ears settle down soon!
