Both my kids have/had this.  My doc told me that babies have very poor circulation which is why a lot of the time their hands and feet appear purplish and are cold.  You can't judge how warm/cool they are by their hands or feet (you do that by putting your hand on their tummy).

Yes, my daughter too,. once it was soo bad her legs got purple sploches too. but her feet always look purple its so weird. the doctors dont say anything about it and arent concerned but as a mother it worries me too.
