My second baby is 8 weeks old and I have noticed some tiny little bruises on his skin, which look a little like broken veins or something - he is NOT ill and they have come and gone since he was about a week old - first one on his head, under his hair, that looked a bit like I'd made a pen mark on him - like a biro line, about half an inch long. It's gone now but lasted a few days.
Yesterday I noticed a tiny line about 3-4mm long on his arm, and this morning he has another on his ankle, (do babies have ankles !) which is the same size.
As I said, well my first thoughts were to panic slightly as it doesn't disappear under pressure, and not in places where he's likely to have bumped himself.
But he is perfectly well and happy and gurgling away, so I'm wondering if it is something anyone else has ever noticed on their baby, and secondly, if it could be a sign of poor clotting etc.?
No idea but you lot must know something!!
