Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 My son was born with very bad circulation that did not get better until he was around 6 - 7 months old. He was a few weeks premature, but I dont know if that was the reason. His nail beds were bluish- purple most of the time. It actually never seemed to be an issue for him. I tried to remember to no make him bear the weight of the boots (when carrying him I always put a supporting arm/ hand under the legs or feet) and massaged his feet when they were out of the boots.
