bruised knees from crawling
Oh changed Charlotte's nappy today and brought her down and said look at her knees. She has a horrible blue/purple bruise just beneath each knee. They must have only just appeared as they weren't there at her previous nappy change ?
They look awful but they don't seem to bother her. She used to commando crawl but recently started on her knees and now is really fast at crawling and is everywhere! Her knees had been dry from crawling and I have been putting E45 on them. I know you can buy knees pads for lo's as well but my oh doesn't want me to get any as he says it's a waste of money and it might hinder her crawling etc.
Did your lo get bruises? How did you treat them? Was thinking of maybe getting some arnica cream but not sure if suitable for 1 year old. Any advice/tips greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that her knees will get tougher and the bruises will go away?
I agree with your oh about knee pads and it would be a pain to take them on/off all the time!
I've got to take her for 1 year check on Thursday so I'll ask hv what to do for the best.
I want her to start walking soon to save her poor knees!
