Patient's question:
The child is eleven months old. At night, he often likes to stick his hands out and rub them upward. If we cover him, he insists on sticking them out, or he will wake up and become fussy. Even when sleeping in a sleeping bag, he still rubs upward. Sometimes his hands are freezing cold, but he refuses to put them down. Could you please ask the doctor what this is all about? Is he not afraid of the cold? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
