I received the following question and with the mother's permission I 
ask you on Lactnet.

Hi Pat,
My daughter Megan is 32 months old and continues to breastfeed 3-4 
times per day.  On Easter Sunday, when we were out of state, she had 
spotting of bright red blood that appeared to be from her 
vagina.  She had no signs of vaginal irritation, abrasion, etc.  This 
was day 4 of my own menstrual period.  Could the spotting have been a 
reaction to hormone levels in my breastmilk?  Should I be 
concerned?  We just got home from our trip tonight.  I plan to call 
her pediatrician tomorrow, but doubt she will have much knowledge of 
toddler breastfeeding.  I would hate to have her recommend weaning to 
see if that prevents the problem next month based on no available 
data.  Have you ever heard of this?
Thanks,
Dawn
