I noticed that my baby had streaks of red blood in his stool tonight. He has had problems with constipation in the past and was on a laxative, but we had weened him off about a month ago because he was going all the time. He's been doing fine until today. I am going to call the doctor first thing in the morning, but I wanted to know if anyone else had this happen with their baby's and what could be causing it. The blood isn't dark it's red and like I said it was quite a bit, but not enough to consider it an emergency. I've looked on line and it says that most likely it's a anal fissure ( scratch inside from constipation) but I don't know. I can't see any cut when I look.

Sounds like a fissure. How old is he and what does his diet consist of?
