My Son leg turns blue when we feel cold.
My son is just born on August 25 2017.. When he feel cold or when we switch on Air Conditioner(AC) his legs turns blue and what we do is that we just cover him with clothes to feel him warm.. Is this normal? and other question is we have planned for a Trip to mountain place(Cold Place) by Febuary 2018 by that time my son would be 5 months old... It is advisable to take him to cold place at that time? Again if he turns blue at mountain place what we have to do?

Yes,it's normal and is due to vasoconstriction,i.e,narrowing of superficial capillaries in response to the cold.
Just cover up the baby,even when you travel to a cold area.
