Last week my 6 month old baby girl started to leak blood from her nipple during her 6 month check-up at the dr's. I asked my dr if this is normal and she said it was but that I should keep an eye on it and she'll see her for a follow up in a few weeks. I've never heard of this and it still kinda freaks me out as her nipple is still bleeding. There's not alot of blood but little spots, some as big as a pea. My friend who's in nursing school told me it's probably a surge of hormones. I was on the pill when I got pregnant and continued for at least 2 months before finding out that I was which I then stopped. Now I know this probably sounds like a stupid question but could this be the reason why she's leaking blood?

that does not sound normal to me. I would call the health line and ask another doctor. I dont' thin that is normal at all. It could be something simple, but should be taken seriously while still in the early stage

I haven't heard of them leaking blood, but I have heard of them leaking fluid. My doctor had warned me that this might happen to my daughter. She said it was from the hormones that she had left over from me being pregnant with her. However, she told me this when my daughter was only a few weeks old, and I didn't think it would happen 6 months later.
Found this on internet:
Enlarged breasts
This is caused by some of the mother’s milk producing hormones leaking through to the baby just before birth. It is equally common in boys and girls and is another thing not to worry about. It usually eases off after a few days though it can last for months and is still nothing to worry about. In fact, even if the nipples leak a small amount of milky fluid (traditionally known as ‘witch’s milk’) you don’t need to fret. Incidentally, one of the more old fashioned treatments for this was to squeeze the nipples to remove this fluid. This is definitely not recommended so please don’t try it at home.

If the cough is persistant throughout the day such as you have suggested and sounds dry it rather is in all probability hypersensitive reactions this time of twelve months. i'm not in the scientific field, yet i'm a mom of three childrens, a former preschool instructor, and at present run a house daycare. In my stories, the indicators you're describing sound like minor bronchial inflamation from hypersensitive reactions. i be attentive to I even have taken my own babies at that age with a matching cough with the aid of fact the single you're describing and the well being care expert has positioned them on Loratadine (regular for Claritin) which has worked nicely. optimistically the well being care expert won't hear a wheeze with the chest examination with the aid of fact 2 of my 3 babies have been clinically determined with allergy-brought about bronchial asthma. wish all the best for you and your infant, wish this facilitates :)

Mmm, yeah hormones. Sometimes, newborn girls will get "periods" and newborn or breastfed babies will also "lactate" Weird, but true.
