Today I came avross the question of a mom (on a bf mom's forum) about bloody
discharge from her baby-boy's nipple. He was not a neonate, but some months
old (don't recall exactly). Does this fit into this explanation as well? There
is no rapid breast development there, as far as I know. What could that be,
then? (Doc told mom not to worry, but did not explain)

Warmly greeting,
