what could be causing marks on my baby's arms?


what could be causing marks on my baby's arms?
2 days ago I noticed some marks on my 8 month old sons arms, in between his elbows and his wrist on each arm are what looks like two small bruises. They dont seem to be painful to the touch and he seems happy and healthy in every other way. Its strange because they are in the same place on each arm. He has recently started crawling and he is quite heavy so could it be the extra pressure on his arms? I watch him like a hawk and never leave him unattended so Im pretty sure he hasn't had any tumbles etc. I have heard of bruises being signs of blood disorders and leukemia, should i be worried? Im going to take him to a childrens clinic on tuesday if they're still there.

My daughter started getting some bruises at around that age, because she started crawling and they start knocking themselves everywhere. Once they start getting mobile, they will get bruises if they knock themselves constantly.

My daughter is almost 2 and still gets bruises, and in no way she has some blood problem. She has gotten several blood exams but everything is normal,it's just her knocking herself everywhere.

Have you ever hit yourself accidentally with something? We adults hardly get bruises because we don't knock ourselves all the time. I have accidentally knocked my arm or leg on things,and in a few hours I get a ugly big bruise. It's just normal for everyone.

I would only worry if an unmobile baby gets bruises all the time, or if a baby gets too many bruises everywhere, like back, legs, arms, face etc. That's when you worry.
Just 2 little bruises, no. It's just him being active. Don't worry and enjoy his milestones.
