Fun Facts Friday

CHILL BABY,  CHILL....

If your baby's hands & feet are chilly to the touch

don't be in a rush to crank up the thermostat or

bundle them up in another blanket, feel their torso.

If their tummy is warm and pink, your baby isn't chilled. For the first few months a baby's circulatory system is still developing, blood is directed to vital organs and other systems, where it is needed most. A baby's hands and feet are the last body parts to get a good blood supply. It can take several months for a baby's circulation to fully adapt to life outside the womb. during these months it's common for tiny fingers and toes to feel chilly and even look a little pale.  As your baby becomes more mobile and active, their circulation will improve.
