Why is the baby's head sweating?

Every parent hopes that their baby can grow up healthy and happy. Once the baby encounters some problems in the process of growth, parents are always particularly worried. Among them, sweating on the baby's head is a relatively common phenomenon, but parents are always particularly concerned. They don’t know what causes such symptoms. Is the baby calcium deficient? Long-term sweating will also cause some nutrients in the baby’s body to be lost through sweat. This is also the problem that parents are most worried about. Let us understand what is going on with sweating on the baby’s head.

Why is the baby's head sweating?

1. First of all, please determine when your baby sweats after falling asleep? If you sweat profusely in the first 1 to 2 hours after falling asleep, then this is normal, because no matter whether it is a baby who has not yet walked or a child who is running around, as long as they are not in sleep state, they are basically not idle. The relatively large amount of exercise makes the body generate a lot of heat. Once the baby begins to fall asleep, all systems in the body will become quiet, but the heat accumulated in the body has not yet dissipated. At this time, the excess heat will be dissipated in the form of sweating. If you don't sweat during your sleep after this period of sweating, then you don't have to worry at all.

2. If the baby starts sweating after sleeping for more than 2 hours, please check whether you have wrapped the baby too much or kept him too hot?

3. After excluding the above factors, if the baby still sweats a lot, the most common reason should be calcium deficiency. Does your baby cry at night? Do you have occipital baldness (i.e. noticeable thinning of hair around the back of your head)? Does the back of your head unconsciously rub against the pillow when you are asleep? Are there signs of a square head or flared ribs?

4. If the baby is not deficient in calcium, then is he deficient in vitamin D? Is your baby not getting enough sunlight?

5. There is no sweat at the beginning of sleep, but sweat all over the body in the middle of the night. In this case, you should first check whether your baby has been vaccinated in time? It is recommended to go to the hospital to check whether there are any signs of tuberculosis

The above is an introduction to why the baby's head sweats. When we encounter such symptoms again, we should not blindly supplement the baby with calcium or zinc. We must go to the hospital for a trace element test before giving the baby nourishment. In addition, if the baby sweats, we must find out the cause. Do not always let the baby wear too many clothes. In addition, keep the air circulating in the baby's indoor environment.
