I would like to know some details to answer you better:

1)Is the baby having loose motions?What is the frequency of stools?

2)Since how long is he passing blood?

3)Is the bleeding accompanied with stool or it is only outside the bum?

4)Does he have any other symptom like vomiting,pain,fever etc?

5)Is he on Formula feed?

6)Is he feeding properly?

If any other details do let me know.

Anticipating your reply,I will get back to you soon.

Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for the reply

Some formula fed babies tend to develop Secondary Lactose intolerance which causes changes in the acid balance of the stool leading to rash and blood at the end of stool.This intolerance occurs either after stomach upset episode or just allergy after switching from breastfeeding to formula milk.It seems he is having this intolerance as there is no vomitting,pain and his appetite also seems to be normal so chances of infection are ruled out.
Some suggestions:
Avoid the formula feed for 2 to 3 days and then observe for any changes.
Give him other food items which he is fond of eating.
As the bowel movements will change the rash and blood will be controlled.You can apply any antiinflammatory topical medication on it.

If even after changing the feed there is no improvement then consider visiting your Primary Physician for examination of abdomen and also might require Stool examination to rule out the exact cause.

Hope I have answered your query.I will be available for follow up query if any.
