Adventure baby problems

Does anybody else have a baby who just LOVES to explore, get into anything and everything and is just COVERED in bruises?!? It looks like I'm snatching her up by the legs! But it's all self inflicted from her adventures! I feel so bad when I see them, but there's nothing I can do about them.

I have an adventure baby too, but I'd say she's only gotten a bruise like once. That includes some pretty hard head bonks. It may be worth mentioning to your pediatrician and asking for testing to rule out anemia.

@Anna her legs are absolutely COVERED. She just went for her well check 2 weeks ago, also covered in bruises and they didn't say anything about them

Yes I my adventure baby has multiple spotted bruises on his legs and arms. He trips a lot because he’s not real stable walking after MONTHS of walking!! The bruises aren’t too dark or anything, but I’ve never thought about testing him for anemia. I have anemia myself and bruise pretty easily (along with lots of other lovely things having to do with anemia) but I didn’t think my child could have it because mine was diagnosed from after birth 3 years ago now.

My 15 month sold has dermatographia so he marks very easy… i just keep an eye on him. He does have some bruises that linger because he always tends to hit the same spots 🤦🏻‍♀️… so I just make sure I know where every mark comes from and keep an eye on any that last more than a day. The doctor said there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m not gonna put him in a bubble be wise he’s not really harming himself and he wants to explore so we’re just mindful.

Yes I feel so guilty but I feel there’s nothing I can really do. I def hover over her but she still manages to get hurt at least once a week
