Hi, black, tarry stools are a sign of bleeding from the GI tract. Usually further away from the rectum because blood from the lower bowel, rectum, anus tends to be more blood colored. The cream may be to prevent a sore bottom in case he starts having diarrhea.

Sending you my thoughts and good wishes.
