Hi
most likely reason for blood is due to swallowed blood from mothers nipple. If baby is active , accepting feed well , you need not worry , meanwhile take treatment of mother's sore nipple . If baby is dull, large amount of blood is present in vomit, you need to consult your pediatricain , also do check whether received vit K at birth or not.
thanks
