   I don't remember Brenna having bruised knees, but I guess it's probably just normal.  You could always phone plunket line.  I find them so helpful with all sorts of things!    |

 Same here, Michaela's body didn't start getting constantly bruised and battered until she started toddling.

   Have you seen on the Scare crow farm website, you can buy little knee pads for when they are crawling.  Maybe it would save poor little Jett's knees?

   Yeah, Lily has really red knees, not too mcuh bruising though, that is on her head from the banging as she misjudges her sitting from standing.

   yep seen the knee pads, plunket said they wouldnt reccomend them until they are a bit older as they can be a bit bulky so would stop them finding ways to do things etc
