How to tell if your baby is too cold

If your baby starts shivering, or his extremities, hands, feet, and/or face are cold and red or have turned pale and hard, your baby is probably struggling with too much cold, also named frosting.

If this happens, you shouldn't rub the cold area to rewarm it, as this could damage the cold skin. Instead, use warm washcloths to gently reheat the skin, then put on warm and dry clothes. If he doesn't improve in a few minutes, call your doctor.

How to tell if your baby is overheating

On the other side, babies can overheat if they have too many warm clothes on top of them during warmer weather. Signs of baby overheating include flushed skin, sweating (not always), fussiness, elevated heart rate, dizziness, and/or vomiting.

If your baby overheats, you could move him to a cooler space, remove excess layers of clothing, give him a tepid or lukewarm bath, or place a cool washcloth on their skin and/or breastfeed or hydrate him with extra formula feeds.

Overheating is especially dangerous since babies under 6 months old are at risk of experiencing SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Although the condition is rare, one of the main risks of developing it is overheating.

It can be hard to tell if your baby is overheating or has a fever. When in doubt, call your pediatrician.
