I have a mom who is breastfeeding an 18 month old.  Yesterday, she got
her first period since his birth.   Her child has had loose, copious,
smelly stools about 3 times a day for the last two days.  He has no
fever, no vomitting, and seems well.  He has had a very good appetite,
eating more than usual the last few days.  He still breastfeeds quite a
lot.  Could his diarrhea be related to her menstrual period, or is it
just coincidence?
