The result shows positive for Occult blood which suggests blood in stool.
It can be due to the bleeding rashes present around perianal area as the baby is passing stool 10-15 times a day.
It's fine if baby is passing stool 10-15 times a day for 1-2 days. If it occurs for more than that then have a consultation.
Next Steps
check for anal excoriation and see if baby is having colic
Health Tips
