I’d personally say no unless you have other causes for concern.

My son always has small random bruises but he’s always on the go and has minus levels of fear 😂

At that age when they’re learning to walk they fall and bash themselves constantly. My son had several black eyes learning to walk 🙈

Bruising is concerning in non mobile children.
In mobile children bruises are super common as they tumble and walk into things all the time. Like Yasmin says, unless you have any other concerns I’d say it’s normal.

At 12 months my baby was covered in bruises from crawling around and cruising.

I wonder if it’s just from failing over on something. If he fell on a toy he could get a bruise.

Most of the time it’s from a child falling onto a toy. At this stage they are learning to walk and are exploring m so there are lots of accidents just from the child making a mistake and learning. I work at a daycare and used to be in the room of this age and saw this happen a lot! Be concerned when it happens on a daily basis for your child and seeing more and more bruises pop up.

I’m guessing maybe from the shopping trolley aswell I’m not sure she’s fine in herself just teething x

Im 24/7 with my baby and i saw he has a similar bruise when i changed his nappies. No idea how he got it tho. So if its only this i dont think you should worry. Just pay attention if you see more things. Hope everything is fine

My baby gets bruises similar and sometimes it’s due to me catching him when he’s launched himself headfirst at something.

Rolling in the night

Help! My baby has started rolling on her front during her sleep?? She’s 3 months old and it’s freaking me out? Is this safe? Is there something I can do to stop her? Co sleep? It’s making me so anxious 😬

When did you stop rocking or feeding your babies to sleep?

For those who no longer feed or rock to sleep, was it something you decided to change, or did your baby show signs they were ready? How did you do it?

My baby turns 1 next week, and I’m wondering if I should start helping him fall asleep without feeding or rocking.

“Drowsy but awake” doesn’t work for us at all. He just opens his eyes wide, sits up, rolls around and seems to get more stimulated rather than sleepy. It makes me wonder whether he’ll naturally show me when he’s ready to fall asleep differently, or whether I need to teach it somehow.

Would love to hear your experiences! 😊 TIA

Sleep deprived

Me and baby haven’t had any sleep at all for the past 3-4 nights as my baby won’t stop moving even for a minute, she won’t sleep at all even during day time she’s slept for like 30 minutes for each nap and at night time she fully awake, like even when she’s eventually drowsy she’s still wriggling all night and she won’t even sleep on me because she does the same while being held too😭 I’m doing everything right, my first born wasn’t like this at all, what should I do? 😭

Unused nappies

What’s everyone doing with nappies that no longer fit their baby? I have a bag full of size 1 and 2 and no idea what to do with it. I don’t just want to throw them away.

Should I stay or leave? Give me some advices!

I just have a 4-month-old baby, and my husband keeps telling me how tired he is and taking his stress out on me. And most of the time, I take care of both kids on my own, even during my postpartum period. It has been really exhausting, and sometimes I feel like I’m carrying everything by myself .Sometimes I just want to enjoy a nice date together, but he still becomes aggressive and yells at my older son over small things.

He always apologizes afterward, but the same behavior keeps happening. Part of me wants to stay for my sons, but another part of me is wondering whether this is really a healthy environment for them to grow up in
