PURPLE LEGGED BABY?

4 replies

hi, my baby's legs went purple yesterday so i freaked out and took her to A&E. by the time she was seen, her legs had returned to normal colour and they didn't know what it was.

i'm thinking it could be her circulation. but wondered if anyone else had a similar experience? please help. thanks

how old is she???? Baby's circulation takes a while to get really efficient

I seem to remember that my niece's legs went purple when she had wind ...
Does that sound weird? It was years ago (she is 10 now) and before I had children but I am sure my SIL told me that every time DN had wind her legs went purple ....
Other than that I don't know ....
