YES!: You should take your infant to their Dr ASAP! Any blood in the stool for an infant this young can indicate that there is a problem. Internal hemorrhoids do not occur in infants, but it could be something else.

Had a hard stool and a known exterior hemorrhoid. Wiped and there was a streak of blood. Stools since have been fine with no blood. My doctor indicated to not worry as this might be from straining, which I was doing. Still scared?
