Cold Hands

**sheila** · February 5th, 2004, 08:15 AM

Maggie has the coldest hands in the world. I swear, they are like ice cubes sometimes. Is she the only one?

I don't think I need to be concerned about this (my hands are on the chilly side as well) but if someone thinks I should worry, by all means, please let me know!

Worry!

Just kidding

Matthew's are cold occasionally too. I think it's totally normal, hopefully

Micayla's are always cold too. I'm also hoping it's normal.

Cameron's hands are always cold.

Totally normal - even as toddlers, they still don't have "perfect" circulation to their hands and feet. As long as they're not so cold they're discolored or something, it's fine. (can you tell I recently asked the pediatrician this same question?

)

I asked the pediatrician the same question on Wednesday because Baby Katie's hands are always cold...she said that the cold hands can continue for a long time (definitely through Maggie's age) because the baby is working on keeping the blood flowing to the torso rather than the peripheral areas.

Carter is the opposite - his hands are always pretty warm - I'm always cold, so they probably seem even warmer to me!

Aden has this too! I'm glad to know we aren't alone. I just feel so bad for the kid and his cold hands.

We have the same situation.

Julian's hands and feet are cold pretty often, but not so cold that I've ever worried about it. I just worry when it's cold at night - he won't keep a blanket on him while he's sleeping for anything!

Anderson's hands are cold sometimes but his feet are always freezing!

Nick definitely has cold hands! I always tend to think something is up but he seems fine!
