Jenny, I too have worked with a mom whose newborn had bloody stools. BAby was hospitaltized at age 3days with grossly bloody stools. Baby is happily breastfed now. Mom works as a nurse for the local pediatric gastroenterologist-how cool is that! 2 resources: Resolution of stool blood in breast-fed infant with maternal ingestion of pancreatic enzymes. J Pedieatr Gastroentero Nurt 1999 Oct: 29(4):500 This is an abstract of a poster symposium--not an article. This is referred to in the Bresastfeeding Answer Book. This mom did not try this approach. and Personal communication from the mom I noted above, that she and baby take Culturelle with Lactobacillus GG.Mom takes one capsule BID PO and baby takes one capsule PO daily. Mom puts contents of capsule in nursery water and puts in a medicine pacifier. Mom is now able to eat an ordinary diet including milk, cheese, eggs, nuts etc. Baby is thriving, only comment is baby gas occassionally Mom and baby each took Culturelle for 7 days before she resumed breastfeeding. She had Neocate during that time. All hemocult tset have been negative since. Baby is about 4 months old. Mom gets Culturelle at Walgreens for 17.99 bottle of 30 capsules. Hope your mom finds this remedy works for her!
