Why does my baby always sweat on his head when sleeping?

Generally speaking, baby sweating is divided into physiological sweating and pathological sweating.

Physiological sweating

1. Your metabolism is too high

Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon, especially for children, who have strong internal heat and are more likely to sweat after a little exercise. If the child jumps and plays before going to bed at night, he will sweat consciously to maintain a balanced body temperature while sleeping.

2. Covering too tightly

The child is restless when sleeping and likes to kick the quilt. Especially in winter, parents cover their children tightly to prevent them from catching cold, which results in the children sweating profusely.

3. Feeding before bed

Some younger children need to be fed before going to bed. Drinking milk generates heat, and when covered with a quilt, the children sweat easily.

Pathological sweating

1. Rickets

If a child lacks vitamin D, he or she is likely to suffer from rickets, the main symptoms of which are night sweats, irritability, restless sleep, easy awakening, square head, bald temples, and pigeon chest. This can be solved by supplementing with vitamin D.

2. Weak constitution

If a child is weak and prone to illness, he or she is more likely to sweat at night. It is recommended that children exercise more, supplement nutrition and strengthen their physical fitness.

3. Calcium deficiency

Children will also sweat excessively at night when they are calcium deficient. You can take your child to the hospital to check whether he or she is calcium deficient. If he or she is calcium deficient, calcium supplementation is needed in time.

How to take care of physiological sweating

(1) Babies should drink more water;

(2) Cultivate the baby's ability to adapt to the environment in life, such as wearing loose clothes and not using too thick bedding;

(3) Change your baby's clothes frequently, bathe him/her more often, and ensure that his/her skin is clean;

(4) Pay attention to education and do not spoil the baby. This is not only beneficial to the baby's mental development, but also can accelerate the improvement of the baby's nervous system regulatory function.
