You are, of course, right that breast milk usually doesn't stain.  I would
bet, however, that the mom was referring to spit-up and the bf baby in
question was getting vitamins with iron.

<<  I was recently mentioning to someone that BTW breastmilk doesn't stain
 and she said we had to agree to disagree on that one as her exclusively
 breastfed baby has stained all his clothing.  Anyone know if this "non
 staining of BM" is substantiated in the literature anywhere or if it's
 just an observation of some mothers?  >>
