Hello,
It's normal to have slightly blood stained discharge for female baby upto 2-3 weeks.
It's because of mother hormones in the baby for this period. If the blood stains are increased, consult your doctor. Occasionally little strains are nothing to worry.
Take care.

Mostly due to transfer of maternal hormones through breast feeding. Don't worry
Well fed baby passes urine 6-8 times per day, so please continue breast feeding well

This reddish colour are crystals formed by kidney, not blood. It happens for first 2 weeks and is totally normal.
