Baby sweats on back when sleeping at night

New mothers will encounter this problem. Babies sweat easily when they sleep at night, especially on their backs. Sweating at night will make babies sleep poorly, and excessive sweating will also affect children's health and may increase the chance of children catching a cold. Below, let us understand together what factors will cause babies to sweat a lot, and also learn how to deal with babies sweating on their backs when they sleep at night, and what good methods are there.

1. Wear pure cotton underwear: Pure cotton clothes are breathable, sweat-absorbent, and comfortable to wear close to the skin.

2. Adjust the indoor temperature: insist on regular ventilation in the morning, noon and evening, and try to open the windows for 10-30 minutes each time.

3. Clothes and quilts should not be too thick: The thickness of babies' clothes and quilts should be the same as that of adults. Especially in winter, do not wear too thick clothes or cover too much, otherwise the baby will sweat easily.

4. Bathing frequently: The baby's skin is very delicate, and excessive sweat accumulates in the skin folds such as the neck, armpits, groin, etc. This requires bathing the baby frequently to keep the skin clean and dry, prevent skin ulcers and cause skin infections.

5. Apply talcum powder: Applying talcum powder to your baby frequently can effectively absorb excess moisture from your baby's skin, making your baby's skin feel dry and comfortable. Talcum powder can also prevent sweat from irritating the skin and skin allergies and damage caused by friction from clothing.

1. Physical factors

Physiological hyperhidrosis means that a child has good growth and development, is in good health, and has no diseases, but often sweats during sleep. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children have a "pure yang body" and their "pores are loose and their skin is thin and tender." After falling asleep, the yang energy enters the body and there is relatively more yang energy in the body. Through the transpiration of the yang energy, it is easy for children to sweat slightly after falling asleep. Modern medicine explains that infancy and childhood have an active metabolism, produce more heat, and have thin and tender skin. In addition, children are lively and active, and many children have to play with their parents for a while after going to bed at night, so they often sweat a lot after falling asleep.

With the improvement of living standards, even in winter, heating and air conditioning can keep the temperature in the house very high, but parents are still afraid that their children will be cold when they sleep at night, so they cover their children thickly, especially babies, who are always wrapped tightly. Little do people know that because the temperature regulation center of the brain's nervous system is not yet fully developed and children are in the growth and development period, their body metabolism is very active and produces too much heat. Coupled with the stimulation of thick clothes and quilts, they can only dissipate the heat in the body by sweating to regulate their body temperature to a normal level.
