My 19 month old was very restless last night and was waking up every two hours. At around 1am I was exasperated and turned on the light to see what was going on. To my absolute horror there was blood all over the sheets, and some dried blood on her face.
It turned out that her nose had bled - it had stopped and she seemed fine, and settled back to sleep. In the morning there was still some dried blood in her nostril, but she was otherwise fine. We're thinking it's due to the drier air at the change of season and turning on of the heat in the house (we brought out the humidifier for the room last night).
Has anyone experienced this - should we be worried? Is there anything we can do to prevent this?
