Does your LO hands & feet are cold?

Question

My daughter's hands and feets always cold, does it is mean she feeling cold not warm enough ? I have heard baby like cooler so I didn't dress her a lot , should I wear her some warm clothes even at home?

Answer

I was told to gauge their temperature by the back of their neck because hands/feet/nose aren't good indicators.

Answer

Above comments are right. The doctor in the hospital told me to not judge temperature by hands or feet as babies automatically heat their organs first and limbs last. Check the middle of their chest. Hope this helps :)

Answer

I was told hands and feet are not a good indicator if baby is cold because they have poor circulation to them. I was told to feel their chest and that's how you know if they're dressed warm enough.

Answer

Too warm isn't good. Baby shouldn't be sweating. My mom thinks I'm wrong too. He hardly wears socks or hats and I live in MN!

Answer

No our home always around 73-74°F at daytime , 68-70°F at night time . My mom keep telling me my daughter is not warm enough cause her hands and feet is cold ......

Answer

It's normal for their hands to feel cold. They say as long as chest is warm they're fine that means core is warm.  No need to bundle them up at home. Unless you have a cold house?
