Blue feet

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
I am reluctantly posting this as I feel there is nothing to worry about. My mil watches our LO during the day. She says that sometimes when the baby wakes up from a nap her feet are blueish. I have never seen this at home though. I think it's because my mil holds her on her lap all day rather than let her play more so her circulation gets slow. Should I be concerned that her feet occasionally look like that?

    I would discuss this with your pediatrician though. I would request a pulse ox test just to be sure.  Blue extremities are a sign of poor oxigen levels.... which could be caused by a heart defect (which are common and often go undiagnosed at birth).&

    DS1 got purple feet and hands 1-2 times a week at this age.  I freaked out and talked to pedi and he said it is poor circulation, and he would grow out of it.  And within 2 months, he did.  DS2 (6months old now) is starting to get it a
