you should get a regular stage 1 childs toothpaste and tooth brush , and brush his teeth correctly. Bleeding gums is the first sign of gingivitis. meaning you are not correctly brushing off all the plaque and it is starting to attack them.
But dont panic or freak out it not a major problem. Just get a stage one brush and brush them like you brush yours, there not going to break. After a few days the bleeding should stop.
Also never use milk to clean teeth, it is loaded with sugar. That is just like letting coke sit on his teeth. Leaving milk on them, will rott his teeth in no time.

Take him to see a dentist, that specializes in children. It may be that you are brushing too hard.
