What Causes Bleeding From A Baby’s Mouth While Sleeping At Night?
My daughter (2.5) has started not sleeping well at night for 2 weeks. On 2 separate occasions, there has been blood where her mouth would be on her sheets. The first time it was not much, the second it was a ton. What can cause this? Is it just teeth or should I be concerned?

Hi.
I am sure she is done with teething and I doubt this is the case, I would recommend a visit to your gastroenterologist to help review her GIT as this is the most common cause for a large upper GI bleed.
Best wishes.
