Parents' attention to these symptoms and consultation with a doctor can help early diagnosis and effective treatment. ### Bruises in hands and feet Although the short bruises at the ends of the hands and feet are often caused by cold and are usually not worrisome, some breast-fed infants with congenital heart diseases get bruises in the first days after birth, and in most cases, the severity of these bruises increases with age.
