Just visited a friend who has a 2-month-old. I noticed that her baby's feet and hands have turned blue. Does that mean she's too cold? The room didn't feel too cold. Could it be something else? I never experienced this with my own kids.

Was baby in an air conditioned room? Did baby show any signs of discomfort? I would look for other symptoms if any and take baby to the hospital. 2 months old is really young. Better to be in a safer side.

Yes it can be little cold. Baby should be properly clothed or try to maintain at least 25 degrees celcius for the air con. Could it be also due to some restrictiknkg the clothing on the baby?

According to WebMD, you don't need to worry if your baby's hands and feet turn blue for a short period of time when the rest of the body is pink and your baby is breathing normally.

It could be cold. Or baby leg is in a position without much blood circulation, did you feedback to the mum?

Oh dear I'll be really worried. I would take baby to the doctor.

It could be. The baby should wear booties.
