How is the soil? Is it getting enough water and is it well drained? Can you upload a more open shot of the seedling so we may see it completely?

It appears the palm is indoors and will be until spring. Consider enclosing the palm in a spacious plastic bag for the winter. Place in a warm bright location, light sun, water once then close up, check moisture every few weeks, not too wet. I grew many palms in New York apartments, and used this method many times. Essentially creating a mini greenhouse that limits pests like spider mites and maintains a humid microclimate. In fact the palm on the left pictured here in 2015 spent two winters as a small sprouted coconut, in a big bag on a covered radiator . I  purchased as a coconut that had an exposed root, and was wrapped in newspaper in New York's "Plant District" back in 1999. It was one of many New York grown palms  that i brought to Florida when I moved to Ft. Lauderdale  In 2001. I planted outside of my condo, didn't even ask anyone, funny they let me do it, if you know how condos are. Grew many more afterward. Moral of story, when your indoor palms get too big, move to FLA.

Well draining soil and more frequent watering seems to be in order.  I would be cautious to use the plastic bag/mini greenhouse method.  Lack of air movement can cause a ideal growing situation for fungus.

Be careful that you are not overwatering it.  They don't like cool damp roots for any length of time!  When the weather is chilly, taper off on the watering.  I lost some in a greenhouse in Bryan, TX (borderline Zone 9A Climate) before I moved to Corpus Christi, because I was watering them too much in the winter.  In hot dry summer months, you can water them about every other day, but in the winter, when they are in pots, only water them about once every week.  That looks like overwatering to me.  Coconut palms when they have been overwatered and too cool for too long, will look just like yours.
