My 5 month old son's hands are always cold...?

Question

I always make sure that he is warm enough, he always sleeps in sleepers with feet and sometimes if it's chilly I put socks on underneath. It's even during the day, but especially when he wakes up after sleeping at night, or after his naps. Nothing else, like his feet or his nose are cold, just his hands. Any ideas?

I guess I should mention that my hands and feet are also cold most of the time. Maybe poor circulation is hereditary?

Answer 1

you may need to keep the mittens on him for a while longer.
Check with the doctor to make sure there is not poor circulation in his hands.

Answer 2

My daughter is the same way except for her hands and feet will turn blue and purple!! Ive taken her to the dr several times, taken pics to sow the dr. and it luckly happened onetime whiel in the office. The way the explained it to me was that her blood velses constrict to get blood to the vitial organs in her body and it is something that she should grow out of. she is however 14 months old now and still does it. i do plan on asking the dr about it again in december at her next check up if we dont go before them. seems how ive alread sepend 200 this month on copays.
