Bruising!

Karley0212

Any other babies constantly falling and getting bruises? Where do they get them and how often? I feel like alexander always has bruises on his legs. I try to be extra gentle nad the next day he has a few more. Our doctors appointment is tomorrow and I am worried this is not the norm.

Audra periodically has bruises on her legs. I attribute them to crawling in to things and banging her legs while walking a long furniture. I would say that I notice one maybe every 1-2 weeks.

Bruises are normal and drs are used to seeing them, especially on mobile toddlers!

Out pediatrician warned us that once they star walking they will get bruises on their legs knee down and tops of their heads foreheads up. She said it completely normal.

I think "some" bruising, especially at this age, is very normal. Ian has bruises on his knees and shins, he's a crawler. I can only imagine where the bruises will be when he starts walking.

DS gets bruises on his knees from crawling fast on the hardwood floor + when standing up, his way of getting down is to just drop to his knees (ouch!).

Thanks ladies! Alexanders bruises sound just like that. ever few weeks he gets a few. I guess he just plays hard!

I think some small bruises are very normal. My daughter falls a lot and crawls hard and she always has bruises.

This is my DD too... little bruises all over her legs!

Pure vanilla will prevent a bruise...just a random tip.

DS' head circumference is the biggest percentile and I have no scientific reason to state this, but I think it is why he is constantly knocking his head into things when he's walking around.  He would have a totally bruised forehead without vanilla.

Jackson always has a couple bruises on his legs...I don't think it's a big deal...he's walking and crawling all over the place. He has recently discovered our wood stairs...I feel more bruises are in my distant future.
