Hello,
Does your baby have a temperature? Passing more than 3 times a day is diarrhea. Since, you have noticed blood better so do feces analysis. Give your baby soups with rice, and also banana that are good choices for diarrhea. Get the baby hydrated.
Have you used any medicine for your baby? I suggest you to visit a pediatrician in order to do a physical examination of your baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Emilda Belortaja
