Question
Is it normal for a baby’s urine to be blood-tinged after birth?
Answer
Yes, it is normal. For such a young child, as long as the stool color is normal and the frequency does not exceed three times, there is generally no problem. A regular stool examination should be done, and antibiotics are not usually used unless there are signs of bacterial infection such as pus cells or white blood cells. If antibiotics are needed, they are typically narrow-spectrum antibiotics.
