Newborn baby sleeping with cold hands

Babies come to a new environment after birth. During the previous ten months of pregnancy, they lived in the amniotic fluid environment. After birth, they will inevitably have some minor symptoms to adapt to the change in this environment. In addition, parents will also pay special attention to some small reactions of newborns. Some babies' clenched fists will feel cold when they sleep. What is the reason for this? The following editor will show you how.

The child's condition should be a relatively normal manifestation. Since the child's heart size is relatively small, the stroke volume is small, so the blood cannot fully reach the peripheral circulation, so symptoms such as cold hands will appear. The problem of cold hands and feet is not very serious, because when you sleep at night, the body's metabolic rate is low, and this phenomenon sometimes occurs. The key is that your forehead does not get hot. We should start from all aspects of daily life: when keeping warm, we should pay special attention to keeping our legs and feet warm. If the lower limbs are well kept, the whole body will feel warm. Avoid wearing tight clothing as it can restrict blood circulation. Proper exercise can increase blood circulation and metabolism.

In this regard, it is normal for babies to have cold hands because they are not used to covering their hands when sleeping. This has become a habit for babies and does not need to be corrected deliberately. If the baby has no other symptoms, no treatment is needed. If the baby sweats excessively during sleep, calcium deficiency cannot be ruled out and examination by a clinician or trace element test is required.

The main reason why the child's hands are cold when sleeping is that the warming measures are not enough. You can put the baby in the quilt in time, or let the baby sleep with the mother, which is also conducive to keeping the baby warm. If the baby currently has no symptoms such as fever or cough, and the child is in good spirits, there is no need for special treatment for the time being, just observe more.
