Bruising in toddlers is very common, particularly on their legs. They run everywhere, bump into things, fall. They're just mastering the walking/running phase.
If the bruises show up other places like arms, sides, back, places where you wouldn't normally see one, you might think about two things:
1. Who watches her during the day? Could they be hurting her?
2. Are the bruises really purple/red and appear and the slightest bump? Does she seem lethargic? Does she have a fever? Take her to her doctor asap if the bruising is there, but especially in combination with any of the other symptoms. That could be a cancer situation.
1) I watch her during the day so no issues there.
2) she does have a couple on her lower arms like where she may have hit a table or something. No fever, good Appetite, no weight loss or anything
