Patient's question:
My aunt just had a little princess, and the whole family is overjoyed. But she always feels like her hands and feet are cold and lack warmth. So, we dressed her in more clothes to raise her temperature, but it didn't help. Could it be because she's so new born and still very small? What could be causing low body temperature in infants?Doctor's answer:
According to the clinical manifestations mentioned above, newborn infants should be particularly attentive to temperature prevention and cold protection. It is recommended that the child should be as close to the mother as possible. On the one hand, this can enhance the mother-child bond. On the other hand, it can reduce the child's sense of security. Additionally, the mother can observe the child's temperature at any time. A warm water bag can be placed near the child's feet, but the temperature must not be too high. This will help the child stay warm.
