Allergic reaction/hives, benadryl, and breastfeeding

Stephanie • Married 2 years, 4 baby losses. Jun 2017, chemical. Dec 2017, missed miscarriage. Jul 2018, ectopic, lost left tube. Nov 2018, missed miscarriage.

I got some hives so I had to take a Benadryl. How long after taking a Benadryl can you start breastfeeding again? I can’t ask a dr since they’re closed. Also is it safe to breastfeed if I have hives? Or will my baby also get an allergic reaction?

Sorry if this is stupid, first time mom, so I’m not sure.
