What Could Cause Cool Cheeks, Warm Hands And Sleepiness In An Infant Indicate?
My 6 week old has cool cheeks and her head is not warm her hands are warm and she fed/was up more last night and is very sleepy now. She has not fed today as much as she usually does but fed a little more last night. She has had periods of responsiveness today.

Hi...this could be a shock or a low blood pressure state. As the feeding is also not that good I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency or a pediatrician immediately. Less than 3 months age the signs of sepsis or infection can be very enigmatic and needs evaluation.
