    Urate crystals (pink or reddish tinge in diaper) can look like blood in the diaper, but they indicate dehydration in an infant, usually in the first week of life. If this occurs, you need to seek evaluation by a medical professional to assess your infant’s hydration status and whether supplementation of donor milk or formula is necessary.
