6 month old baby sweating on the back of the head

Six-month-old babies are in a very active stage, and they are constantly moving almost every moment. If they exercise too much, they will sweat easily. In addition, babies are also very prone to sweating when they sleep. Since babies do not sleep very soundly, they sweat a lot, especially on the back of the head. So, why do six-month-old babies sweat a lot on the back of the head? What causes excessive sweating? Let's take a look.

Night sweats are also called "night sweats". Sweating occurs during sleep and stops after waking up. Generally, children's night sweats are caused by yin deficiency and heat disturbance, which makes it impossible for the heart fluid to be retained. For spontaneous sweating, you should pay attention to whether your child is listless, easily fatigued, has a pale complexion, sweats a lot during activities, is prone to colds, has a low voice, etc. Such children should pay attention to their diet and avoid eating raw, cold, icy foods and hard foods that are difficult to digest. Instead, you should eat more foods that have a spleen-strengthening effect, such as japonica rice, coix seed, yam, lentils, lotus seeds, jujube, etc. These can not only strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, but also harmonize the stomach, and can be cooked into porridge.

When caring for a child with excessive sweating, you should pay attention to changing clothes and bedding frequently, and wipe the body with a soft cloth or apply powder at any time to keep the skin dry. When you are sweating, you should avoid being blown directly by the wind to avoid catching a cold. Excessive sweating can easily cause loss of yin fluid and damage to yang energy, so children should be given more water to drink and their diet should avoid spicy, dispersing and attacking foods to prevent damage to the vital energy and more sweating.
