- Bloodstains in the baby diaper suggest that there is bleeding in stools which can occur in acute gastroenteritis or dysentery. - There is no relation of formula feed for breast milk with bleeding in stools. However, when formula feed given by a bottle it can lead to stomach infection. - Stop bottle feed, give milk by bowl and spoon. -Kindly do an investigation like complete blood count, CRP levels, and stool routine microscopy. - An examination by a doctor should also be done so that we may not miss any important finding point.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
