Question
My newborn has yellow stools with blood, defecates 6-7 times a day, and the stool contains blood. Am I dealing with an upset stomach? What should I be aware of on a daily basis?
Answer
Newborns may have eye discharge due to birth canal secretions or blocked tear ducts. If the eye discharge is yellow or green, it may indicate conjunctivitis, which can severely affect vision if not treated promptly. Seek medical attention immediately.
