What Causes Blood Stains On Infant's Sheet With No Bleeding Signs?

HI my 15 mth daughter wakes up occasionally (twice in a week this time) with blood on sheets. Blood size of fist, but looks as though has spread due to saliva. Blood where her head would be. No sign of bleeding from ears, nose, cuts etc. Blood around her mouth. She acts totally normally when wakes.Is this normal?

Hi.. Bleeding like this is not normal.. It can be due external injury so just check the lips and oral cavity.. It will be good if u can see the pediatrician so that he can examine properly and can rule out other internal problems.. Thanks
