Joanna Fortune: My two-year-old hates the cold

My two-year-old daughter is highly sensitive to the cold, particularly in the mornings. It helps when I preheat the car seat with a hot water bottle. She also wants to be up in my arms all the time. I’m still breastfeeding her as it seems to be a huge source of comfort. Should I be worried?

Feeling cold when outdoors without adequate clothing or when it is especially cold outside is a normal sensory response but feeling cold all of the time or when indoors (once the space is adequately heated) can indicate an intolerance to cold or a temperature sensitivity.
