From all the research we did, it was very clear that is was serratia due to the hot pink color being unmistakable.
What the family did was go to their local health food store and get a probiotic that was apparently made from breast milk and gave it to the baby according to the directions.
It cleared up immediately and we never saw a single drop of pink again.
Their pediatrician said that if it wasn't serratia, the probiotic they gave the child wouldn't hurt them at all so it was worth a try.
I think the mom said she took some too so that she was sure she wasn't continually passing this back again to the baby.
