Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Gums are very delicate in a 2 years old baby.
The bristles of the tooth brush may injure gums and lead to bleeding.
Gum infection and vitamin C deficiency may lead to bleeding .
within 1-2days if the bleeding does not subside consult your doctor/ dentist.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Further queries invited .
