it could be. Aptamil has prebiotics which make the poo softer so it could be that causing the looseness.

Which Aptamil is it? The Easy Digest contains a stool softener which could make a difference. It shouldn't cause traces of blood though - that needs to be checked out. It could be from a tear or fissure if your LO has been badly constipated or it can be a sign of intolerance to something. either way, I would see your Dr especially if you see any more blood.
