This could be a (very) long shot, but could it possibly be the ingestion of
E. Coli, such as via unsterilized blub suctions used during the birth in the
infants' mouths? I know, a long shot, but from reading this article, which
has nothing to do with neonates, albeit the mentioning of blood in stools of
adults
(
http://www.ift.org/publications/docshop/ft_shop/08-01/08_01_pdfs/08-01-newsmkrs.pdf
), it seems to be one tangent to go on if none others pan out. The
possibilitly of oral contamination during/after the birth could be
considered, could it not? Please enlighten me if this seems unlikely. Other
than a dairy allergy, GI disease, or blood ingested from mom's cracked
nipples, I can offer no other ideas. I hope breastfeeding does not end up
being contraindicated...
