Bad circulation - purple feet

My baby has always had crappy circulation, he's 1 now and it doesn't seem to improving

His hands and feet are always freezing, and regularly go purple. The attached photo was after a hot bath. Anyone got any similar experience?

Difficult to see from that photo as it looks like a shadow is over the foot. Could you take a clearer photo in natural light next time? It sounds like it could be Reynaulds or something - do you have any autoimmune conditions in your family?

Sorry, no L. Reynauds.

There's no shadow that's the colour her foot goes!

My DD has raynauds phenomenon (most commonly in under 12s it's linked to other autoimmune conditions so more likely if you have a family history of autoimmune conditions but not always).
The advice we were given is warm up slowly, wear layers, wool socks, gloves (DD is still wearing winter gloves this week). The next stage for us was medication but there's lots you can do before that and they usually only do this in children after having multiple infections /long term issues.
Best thing to do would be to speak to your gp.
