Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience that I have. My
three month old son is always bundled up and warm but it seems that no
matter how bundled up he is his hands and fingers are still very cold. I
also put the mitts on him to try and keep his fingers warm. Does anyone have
any information or suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is normal, most babies have really cold extremities. Take his
temperature by checking the back of his neck or back to see if he is warm or
cold. As his circulation and mobility improves, his fingers and toes will
warm up :-) Don't bundle him up too much - it's actually better for babies
to be slightly cool.

Most babies are kept much warmer than they need to be. I find most
babies are less crabby in a cooler environment. Unless they prefer being
bundled it might be better if the blankets were looser so that the child
can move around more to get circulation going.

I must add my two pennith worth ! LOL
Current thinking is that overheating plays a large part in sudden infant
death or cot death.
Where as catching a chill from being cold (extremes I know) is far less life
threatening.
Sorry if this seems a little grim or harsh!
Enjoy youe babies they grow up really fast!

On a recent trip to our hospital during an asthma attack with fever our doc
told us it was normal for his hands and feet to be cold because his body was
making sure the major organs received an adequate amount of oxygen and that
we just noticed it more during the fever because he was so hot. They also
told us to undress him, he was too bundled.
Babies should be dressed with one more layer of clothes than what you would
wear. this is the guideline they gave us.
