When babies have a fever, having cold hands and feet is a natural part of the body's fever-fighting mechanism. To raise body temperature, the body directs blood to internal organs, which causes a temporary cooling in end areas like hands and feet. This usually happens during the fever-rise phase and is not concerning on its own. If the baby looks generally well, is alert, and drinking normally, no intervention is needed. However, if a baby under 3 months has fever of 38°C or above, the baby is drowsy or fussy, has difficulty breathing, or fever lasts longer than 3 days despite fever reducer, definitely consult a pediatrician.
