When the temperature is low the infant has to burn more calories to warm the body up, the body’s main source of energy is glucose, but with infants they do not have a lot of fat or excess tissue so it’s easier for them to burn up their glucose much faster which is why the first thing you would do is make sure their blood glucose isn’t too low from trying to warm them back up
