prob better to take him to the doc for your own peace of mind (and they can have a quick look see)

both mine get nosebleeds and have done since they were tiny babies - we were told they were only a problem if they either don't stop bleeding or gush regularly

if his nosebleeds have just started now, it may be due to the central heating coming on and drying out his nose - you can try rubbing a little bit of vaseline around the bottom of his nostrils but make sure it's rubbed in properly (i.e. not a huge blob that obstructs his breathing!)
