Palms and feet too cold and wet
My baby is 2 months old his hands and feet is extremely cold and wet, his oxygen saturation was checked which was normal, I always research about this online one such thing I got to know is it's because of anaemia, my baby is formula fed baby as I can't give breast milk, my baby do have regular checkup with paediatrician, but I didn't ask about anaemia,just want to know can I give him iron drops? If yes then which one?, I have next appointment with doctor on 28 for next dtwp vaccine shot, and ask about this?for iron drops...( I have discussed about this to my doc earlier, which he wasn't concerned much, but never asked about anaemia and iron drops), if I give iron drops will it cause any side effects?

If baby is not having any acute illness or any worrisome symptom it is better to wait and watch and ask your paediatrician on regular follow up...kindly don't take any non prescribed medication

Please wait till 28th and can ask the doctor again. If required he will give it..
Every medicine has side effect.
So unless it is really needed, please do not give medications.
