ds2 is 6 weeks old has had mottled skin on and off i went to the clinic last week and a HV said it could be a sign of a urine infection and see if his wee starts to smell
but i took him to the gp thismorning as hes got a cold and a bit of a chesty cough (gp said hes fine) to get him checked over and asked him and he said its changes in temperature

Would say temp changes and poor circulation, layers and time should help.

hes warm enough and i dont think its dehydration hes breastfed on demand and he is a little piggy!
his hands are cold and they are a bit mottled now but his body isnt so it could be circulation

yeah, all of mine have had cold hands/feet. even putting gloves and extra woolly socks on made little difference, def a circulation thing.
