Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Purple legs?

I picked my son up from his grandparents today and they said his legs turned purple for 2-3 min. I called the on call nurse and she didn't seem concerned said if was probably nothing. Said cold or circulation issue. Just watch to see if it happens again or he starts act different. Anyone else's baby have purple legs?

Re: Purple legs?

  • My DD's feet sometimes look purple.  They say its due to the circulation.

  • Happens to James all the time. No big deal. Sometimes if they sit too long in one position or whatever it can happen. They'll get mottled too sometimes. Unless he's having difficulty breathing or his lips/nose are purple, it's of no concern.

  • This happened to us when H was feeding our LO while standing- he must have been holding her funny and cutting off her circulation. Once we laid her down the color returned to normal pretty quickly.
