Hello,
A common cause of blood in an infant's stool is a slight anal tear (fissure) from baby straining with the passage of the stool.
I recommend a physical examination from a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
