A. It’s not uncommon for an 8-month-old baby to have cold hands and feet, especially when compared to the rest of their body. This can occur due to several reasons, including immature circulation, which is typical in infants. Their bodies may prioritize blood flow to vital organs, leading to cooler extremities. Cold hands and feet can also be a response to environmental factors, such as a cooler room temperature or a draft. However, if your baby is otherwise healthy, active, and maintaining a normal body temperature, it is usually not a cause for concern. To keep your baby comfortable, ensure he is dressed appropriately for the weather and consider using socks or booties. If the coldness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as changes in skin color or temperature, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation.
