Unknown Allergy

The past three mornings, my 1 year old son has woken up with hives all over his body. My wife and I are working with our doctor to narrow down a cause but there are some things that don't make any sense.

Shortly before this began, we discontinued formula and started him on whole milk. Our first thought was that the milk is the cause but...

1. Why does he only have a reaction during the night? He gets 8 oz of milk 3 times a day including some right before bed but only reacts to something overnight.

2. We have been feeding him cheese, cottage cheese and other dairy products for a while. Why an allergy now?

The doctor asked about laundry detergent & stuff like that but we have used the same stuff since he was 6 months old with no change.

We went over his new toys and the only new thing are some bubbles. But, we didn't use them at all yesterday and he still work up with a rash.

Anyone else have any suggestions? We are lost on a cause.
