Does a baby catch a cold when their feet are cold

  Although the baby's body is still small, the sensitivity of every organ in this small body is particularly high. Many mothers do not pay attention to keeping their babies' feet warm, which leads to frequent colds and makes mothers particularly anxious. Many people believe that cold feet won't catch a cold. So, can babies catch a cold with cold feet?

  The distance between the baby's feet and the heart is far, and when blood circulates, the feet receive relatively little blood. In addition, the baby's feet have delicate skin and little activity, and the baby's body temperature regulation function is also relatively poor. Therefore, if the baby's feet do not receive special protection, they are prone to catching a cold.

  If a baby's feet catch a cold, the blood vessels above them will contract, causing problems with blood circulation. This will reflexively cause the capillaries in the baby's upper respiratory system to contract, leading to a decrease in the baby's respiratory system's resistance. At this time, bacteria and viruses that have long existed in the baby's respiratory system will take advantage of the situation, multiply vigorously, and the baby is easily susceptible to upper respiratory tract infections, leading to colds.

  In order to prevent babies from frequently catching colds due to cold feet, it is best to take good care of their feet in a timely manner, such as wearing thick socks or warm and comfortable shoes, which can help protect their feet from catching colds and protect their bodies.
