The cause of Raynaud's phenomenon is not completely understood. It is known that the constriction of blood vessels in affected areas (known as vasospasm) can be brought on by exposure to cold and excessive stress, temporarily limiting blood flow. Some researchers are also studying if genetics is related to Raynaud's phenomenon.
Conditions and factors which cause secondary Raynaud's phenomenon include:
Scleroderma
Lupus
Sjogren's syndrome
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Dermatomyositis
Polymyositis
Repetitive stress
Smoking
Certain medications
Hypothyroidism

Raynauds is a heriditary incurable disease. there are two types: primary and secondary. primary is when you just have raynauds on its own. secondary, however can be a little more serious as it is caused by an underlying disease. i would recommend taking your baby to see a doctor as i would suspect it has secondary raynauds if it has raynauds at all.
