from royal childrens hosp melbourne australia website:
"Urate crystals are commonly present in the urine of newborn babies. They
can produce a red discolouration of the nappy ("brick dust" appearance)
which is sometimes mistaken for blood"

I also found a similar statement in Family Fun a Disney Online website.
