For a baby with small amounts of blood in the stool, occasionally...who is
healthy, gaining, etc, and there are no other health problems, I would say
that the mother should try cutting out all milk protein, and that
otherwise...this is not a huge problem.

You might want to try looking up Breastmilk colitis in the archives...and
in other references.

The broccoli, etc, vegetables are fine, and will not cause bleeding. This
is ridiculous.

The reason breastfeeding is often blamed is ignorance.
