I'm wondering if BF'ing JJ could be the cause of the spotting and wanted to get your opinions..

For the last couple weeks we have been introducing JJ to formula (1-2 bottles a day) then after O'ing I was having days of really limited supply so on those days he usually got an extra formula bottle. My supply seemed to pick back up and I resumed to normal nursing (probably 6 times a day he nurses). I started noticing the cramping would be at its worst about an hour after nursing him yesterday and thats when I would see the most blood. I was planning on BF'ing him to 6 months (so we're pretty much there). I nursed him during the night and woke up with globs of pink ewcm and some cramps. I have not nursed him again since and I have not seen anymore more blood and I really don't have any cramping either. I know that is usually safe to continue BF'ing while preggo but I have read a few things this morning that says you shouldn't continue if you have a history of PTL or vaginal bleeding, which I have both. So I just wanted to get some more opinions before I decide to cut him off a little early.

JJ is doing great BTW... he's actually chunking up and he even has the beginnings of a double chin . The new meds are working out great, he still vomits a little (NOTHING like he was doing!) and he's poop'ing just about everyday. He seems much more happy although he still won't let you put him down . We've run into a different set of issues with him and sleeping but I'll save that for another post.

That definately could be the connection. Nursing causes your uterus to contract after birth, so I can see why it could cause bleeding or PTL.

If I were you, I'd start to wean now.

Considering that BF causes the uterus to contract, I would say yes maybe that is what is causing it.

Yup, that's the first thing I noticed when I was in the hospital BFing Brody, was my uterus contracting... That is SO great that JJ is doing so much better!

I agree with them, it makes sense.
