The apparition of the bloody child represents Macduff, who was born by Caesarean section and is the only one who can defeat Macbeth. The witches are warning Macbeth of Macduff's threat to his reign, as he is the one destined to challenge and overthrow Macbeth.
The witches showed Macbeth three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child, and a child with a crown on his head. The first apparition warned Macbeth of Macduff, the second assured him of his invincibility until Birnam Wood moved to Dunsinane, and the third promised that he would not be defeated until Great Birnam Wood came to high Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth reacted by feeling emboldened and reassured by the prophecies.
The quote "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth" was spoken by the witches in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. The circumstances were that the witches were giving Macbeth a false sense of invincibility, leading him to believe he was untouchable because he misinterpreted the prophecy to his benefit.
