A baby having blue bruises on their bottom is really normal, I've seen them on many babies.

He was 6 months old and had a bruise on his face near his eye. When I came home from work at 11pm. He was in his crib and had one of his shoes in his hand. At first I assumed he pulled the shoe off and smacked himself in the face. He would not stop crying throughout the night. By 3 am I took him to the hospital and that's when they took him. He had a bruise on his torso also which I did not know about prior to going to the hospital.
The night before he spent at his father's house. His father dropped him off at my house to my sister, who was living with me, around 3pm. I would have never dreamed in a million years that either were capable of hurting him. I never saw any signs of them losing their tempers or anything of the sort with him.
Here's the thing though, he also had mongolian marks. None of these were even looked at as bruises. They were not recorded as possible abuse marks.
I was never arrested for it but I was charged. I had to show up for court 2 days after. That might simply have to do with the different countries we live in and how they handle it. One main reason they were unable to say it was me was the fact I had not seen my son for 24 hours.

Well, my son has got Mongolian spots. We noticed them short after his birth and he still has them at 18 months. We are European (I'm Italian my husband is Greek) and all of the ancestors we know of were European. But you never know of the mixes that occur in time! Our pedriatrician gave absolutely no notice to them, she just told me they are called Mongolian spots but she wasn't surprised in the least nor did she ask me if the baby had fallen or whatever...so I thought it was a very common thing for her to see. therefore I was really shocked reading what you're having to go through. And they really look like bruises! When my mum first saw them she was scared and asked me what had happened to the boy! Only thing I don't know if they can appear and disappear so quickly. I can only tell you that sometimes I find they look more evident and large, sometimes less. I don't think you can have dressed her in clothes so tight as to leave bruises on her. Try to hear as many pediatricians as possible, if they aren't Mongolian spots they may have seen some similar cases.
I hope this all ends soon and well, let us know.
