I have a 9 month old and his feet are almost always cold as well. The hands and feet dont have as good a circulation at that age and that can be why they feel cold. The hands and feet also sweat a lot which will also make them feel cold, its totally normal and nothing to be concerned about

babies extremities always feel cold. Feel the nape of his neck, if its cold, then hes cold, if the neck feels clammy, he's too warm.
