Constantly Cold?

Megs&Nick · April 2011

Does anyone have a child who constantly complains they are cold? I'm talking mentioning it 15-20+ times per day for the last week or more. She is not sick and has not run a fever. The thermostat is at 70 and she wears plenty of clothes during the day (pants, long sleeves, sweatshirts, socks, etc). I even let her wear her coat in the house yesterday and she still complained. Part of me thinks it is just a phase stemming from my Grandma asking her if she was cold multiple times when we visited last weekend. She tends to latch on to things and totally wear them out for a few weeks, but I'm starting to feel like it might be something more. Anyone experience this?

My kids never wear their socks and we keep our heat at 68, so I'm surprised they don't complain about being cold -- but they don't!

I don't know what to make of that since she's not showing signs of illness. What does she want you to do when she tells you she's cold? Justin likes to sit with a blanket over his legs and read books and stuff......would she like that?

Are her hands or feet cold to the touch? If they are it might be something more but if her body including hands and feet feel warm to the touch I would guess she is going through a phase.

Hmmm, her hands are a little bit cold to the touch, but her feet stay pretty warm with the socks on. I have no idea about her blood pressure. I think I'll give it a few more days to see if she stops before I call the pedi. I really think it's just a phase but it's driving me bonkers.
