Hi kavya...
If you've noted a reddish orange stain on your baby's diaper you may be feeling panicky thinking that its blood. While it's important to make sure it isn't blood, in your case urine routine is normal then mostly it should not be problematic. "brick colored" stain

Normally it's due to uric acid crystals. It's normal in new born or infants. As the investigations were normal, no need to worry
