Question

Help my newborn has this in his diaper ? What should I do? Is this an emergency?

Answer

Call your pediatrician, likely an allergy to the formula he’s eating

Answer

I'd call your pediatrician after hours line ASAP and see what they say

Answer

If pediatrician isn’t available I would personally go to Er

Answer

if he’s having any other symptoms and ur gut is telling you go to the ER definitely go ! if he seems to otherwise be fine and you’re not too worried i agree with everyone else about calling your pediatrician

Answer

Call your pediatrician asap, could be food allergies or a bowel issue

Answer

Is baby breastfed? Are your nipples okay? My baby had this when my nipples were bleeding. 
Either way I would call his pediatrician on call like as soon as you can

Answer

This is not medical advice, just my personal experience with a similar situation. 
When this happened with my son I freaked out. It ended up being a dairy and soy intolerance for us. He was so sensitive to dairy and soy that when I ate foods with dairy/soy in them and then breast fed him, he had reactions like diarrhea and bloody poop. I noticed it one evening after his doctor was closed and left a message and got an appt for the next morning because he wasn’t upset or showing any signs of distress. But make sure to take the diaper with you whether you do go to the ER or if you wait to be seen tomorrow. They will likely want to test the poop for blood either way.

Answer

You should call your doctor. It is not good blood in the poop at any age.
