Are your toddler's legs like this?

DD's legs from the knee down are constant bruises. I don't really notice it because it seems like she is always bruised up. Yesterday we had her baptism and she wore the dress in siggy. I had tons of people telling me how horrible her legs looked. When I ask DD if her legs hurt she says I did it at the park. Is this normal, something I should be concerned about? Does your toddler have bruises everywhere?

  • DS's legs are more bruised more often than DD, but yes my kids have little bruises on their legs alot.

  • Not usually in the winter because we're not at the park. ?But they often do have a few little owies on their legs. ?

    Has she had her hemoglobin levels checked lately? ?Julia was a little anemic as a toddler and she bruised a lot easier than my other girls. ??

  • DS hardly ever has bruises, but I notice a few of the kids in our playgroup tend to have bruises a lot.  And I bruise quite easily.  I'd ask your pedi about it at the next appt, but it's probably nothing.

  • Yes, I'm always noticing bruises on DS's legs. I bruise very easily, so I guess he's just like me. I remember always having bruises on my legs when I was younger too. I still get bruises all the time and I have no clue where half of them come from.
  • DD constantly has little black and blue marks on her legs. She's a clutz and plus she bruises easily and has sensitive skin, so I'm not too worried about it.
