A. it is very normal for small children to have slightly warm/hot head palms and soles but if the growth of the child is proper no need to worry about the warm head palm and soles. you have to consider it as fevcer only if the temperature in the armpit is 100°f / 37.7°c or more. the warm head palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas (that is necessary for development) which is normal.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Baby head and feet and palms are normally hotter than the other body parts. Please massage baby with BabyHug coconut oil. Also use Sebamed soap to bathe the baby. Use a good brand moisturiser like BabyHug moisturiser or MamaEarth moisturiser for the baby. Also use a good brand sunscreen lotion for the baby. Thanks and take care
