One of the LC's in our practice was called by a pediatrician today with the
following question: do we know what might be causing bleeding from the nipple
of a 4.5month old breastfeeding infant. As far as we could get in our
questioning, the baby is otherwise healthy; nursing well and gaining and
growing appropriately. The mother also seems to be in good health. Does
anyone have any wisdom to shed on this situation? You can email me at
