Blood nose in toddlers

[Beach Mama]

Can't see how old he is, DD has had them for years, often just before a cold comes on and if she overheats. I was told its because the capillaries on their nose are really close to the surface and picking or heat can make them swell and then bleed. She has started growing out of them though.

DP still gets them when the weather changes from cold to hot and vice versa - it has happened all his life. Maybe his nose is sensitive to the change from mild to really hot.

My DD used to get them quite a bit at the same age (ish) in the heat. Asked the GP and she said it was nothing to worry about as long as she didn't lose too much blood. She's now 3.5 and hasn't had one in ages.
