Hi everyone Had a call today from a Breastfeeding Cousellor who is helping someone via email. Mother has a 6 month old baby and works as a nurse. Sometimes pumps at work using hospital pump (?lactina). Has done this for some time. A few days ago pumped blood from one breast (about 4 oz of bloody milk). This stopped the next day, then the other breast started to bleed instead!! Apparently she has not changed her pumping method, no trauma to breasts, no change to baby's feeding pattern, no history of breast pathology or illness in mother, no new medications/herbs etc. I have dealt with women who have had blood in their milk in the immediate postpartum period, but not months down the track. Any insights???
