Hello! I am in the same boat with you, breastfeeding that is :) Just wanted to let you know what worked for me last summer when I had poison ivy on my face. Salt!!! Yes, just normal table salt works great for poison ivy, even on your face. Just get it wet, rub in some salt, and then let it dry. Wipe off the extra salt that is left on the area after it dries. It will feel great since it's so itchy. Well, it worked for me at least. Wondered why I hadn't heard about it before. Definitely worth a shot when you're breastfeeding. I found this remedy on myhomeremedies dot com. Hope this works for you. Enjoy your baby! :)
