I would do some test weights and see how much milk baby is removing at 
each feeding. Maybe even just watching the baby and seeing if he chokes 
or gulps and finishes nursing quickly without comfort sucking. Something 
points me to an overabundant milk supply and too much foremilk. The 
other reason for bloody stools is allergies. I have seen bloody stools 
cured by one sided nursing, maybe switching to the other side only every 
4-6 hours. I used to give my third one an infant probiotics. It was a 
name brand, and came in a powder, and was for children to 5 years. I 
used to mix it with water and spoon it in his mouth as he didn't get 
bottles or solids yet. Then nurse him. I gave it to him for runny stools 
and yeast diaper rash after rounds and rounds of antibiotics. (It 
worked.) Might be worth a try for this baby.
