i know u said she has no breast tenderness, but a cracked nipple would be the first thing i would check 4.

also, is she sure it's blood and not some food she ate giving her milk a pinkish hue?
Is she leaking from both breasts or only one? When I started bfing my son, I had been pumping because I was unable to feed him for a few days after his birth (he was in ICU and I was recovering from surgery and “not allowed”). The pump caused me to bleed in one of my breasts. I didn’t pump from that side as often, and he nursed less often there too, until it healed about one day later.
