Quickened breathing, sweating, wet hair, rashes, and red cheeks are some of the signs that indicate possible overheating. If you’re still not sure, touch your baby’s neck, chest, or tummy. If the skin on these areas feels sweaty or hot, regulate the room temperature to a comfortable level or take away one layer of clothing. Then check your child again after a few minutes.

On the other hand, if your baby is too cold, they may show a slight blueish color on their hands and feet. If this happens, use a heater to warm up the room or add one more layer of clothing. Your baby’s fingers and toes should go back to their normal rosy color shortly.

❗ Remember that your baby’s circulatory system is still growing. Therefore, their hands and feet might feel cold whenever you touch them.
