Q: Breast Feeding My 4 Month Old...

I stopped breast feeding my 4 month old when she was 7 weeks old. She has been throwing up all of her formulas since. We are on the 4 formula now. I had spoke with someone and they told me to start breast feeding her a little to help build her digestive system. I started back just today. And when she stopped suckling a little I squeeze the breast and a pinkish color came from one of the ducts. What could this be? Is it blood? Should I continue letting her suck? I am going to call my doctor tomorrow just to find out. But just curious now... Any answers anyone.

I'm sorry you are having a difficult time with feeding your child. Usually switching formulas to your child's specific needs will help reduce the amount of spit up, though small amounts of spitting up is normal.

What did you find out from your doctor? I think it is most likely blood. Stopping breastfeeding and then starting up again later takes a lot of time and patience and sometimes the baby can pop a small capillary which makes things look a little scary, but there's nothing to worry about. It's never a bad thing to get it checked out by the doctor either if you are really worried.

Hope everyone is ok now.
