Your child is now 3 year first thing to do stop bottle feeding as this is the main culprit. Then and then only your child will start eating food. To much bottle feeding causes hard stool which some times accompany drop of blood. If you haven’t given deworming medicines then you should do that. Get cbc with ps done
