Due to the young age of the baby and the poor insulation function of the skin, many parents are worried that the baby may catch a cold, so they wrap more clothes around them. However, this can easily cause the baby to sweat and have cold hands and feet. So what is the reason for the cold and damp hands and feet of babies?
The cold and damp hands and feet of infants may be related to the following aspects:
1. Mainly because infants have a relatively strong metabolism and high activity levels, the amount of heat generated by the body will increase. In addition, the development of the baby's nervous system is not yet complete, especially the functions of the hypothalamus and the temperature regulating center are not yet mature, and the ability to regulate heat and cold is relatively weak, so the baby's hands and feet are easily exposed to cold and dampness.
2. If a baby is too active, it can lead to an increase in body temperature. In this situation, the body needs to sweat to cool down, there will be a small amount of sweating in the limbs, and the hands and feet will be soaked.
3. Because parents often think that babies are still young and afraid of catching a cold, they are accustomed to wearing thick clothes for their babies, which can raise their body temperature. Afterwards, the baby will cool down through sweating. After sweating, the baby's palms will become cold and wet.
4. Once the diet is unreasonable or there are problems with digestive function, the body lacks the necessary nutrients and cannot provide enough supply capacity for the baby's whole body, which can lead to the baby's body being weak. As a result, the baby's sweating will manifest as cold hands and feet.
In response to the above situations, parents must strengthen the daily care of their babies, pay attention to preventing imbalances in temperature, and avoid wearing too many or too few clothes. Pay attention to the indoor temperature. Generally speaking, for normal infants, the indoor temperature should be maintained at around 24 ℃, the humidity should be kept at 55% -60%, and windows should be opened regularly for ventilation.
