Hi... if the baby is otherwise healthy, I don't think you should be worrying about the colour of the urine as you say, he has lots of fruit juices. It could be a fruit dye or a vegetable dye which is making the urine pink in colour.

But to be doubly sure I suggest that you get a urine routine examination done at the laboratory, so that we can be sure that it is not red blood cells or hemoglobin in his urine.
