Toddler Bruising?
Posted On 10/07/2008 06:27:04 by shaunsmommy

My 18 month old always seems to be covered in bruises. Espicially his legs. I know he isn't being mistreated because i am with him all the time. At first i thought i was holding his legs to tight when changing his diaper so i made an extra effort to be really gentle but he still has bruises popping up. It makes me feel like such a bad mom to see him covered in bruises and i worry people will think i abuse him. He is a very active little boy but still i would think if he were falling hard enough to bruise he would cry. They seem to be apearing overnight. He has a checkup Friday and I am scared to death his pediatritcian is going to report me for child abuse.

That sounds like he could be anemic....you should definately talk with your doctor about it!  They can do a simple blood test to find out.
