Bleeding after vit k injection

Hi, I'm an l&d nurse and gave a newborn a vitamin k injection today. I've done a lot of them and feel comfortable with them but am kind of worried about the one I gave today. After giving the injection the baby had a little more bleeding than I've seen before (I've had some babies with no bleeding after, some have a little bit) and I noticed some blood in the syringe after finishing the injection. I've never had blood in the syringe before, so I was really worried. I monitored the baby closely after and all was good but I'm still concerned. Has anyone had this before?

    I've seen bleeding before, but how did it get in the syringe? You shouldn't be aspirating.
