Baby's body is cold and sweaty

Many parents will find that their babies have such a situation, that is, the baby's body is cold but the head is sweating. This situation is mostly caused by the child's weak body, resulting in sweating. Parents need to pay special attention to this situation and take timely measures to alleviate it to prevent more serious situations. Let’s take a detailed look at why babies sweat on their cold heads.

If the baby's body is cold but he is still sweating, parents should pay attention to it. It may be that the child has a weak constitution and the sweating at this time is due to spontaneous sweating. Poor spleen and stomach causing qi deficiency is also an important reason. Of course, if the child has a very poor constitution and anemia, this situation may also occur. In short, if the child has such symptoms, parents must pay attention and it is best to take the child to the hospital for examination.

Why is my baby cold and sweating?

1. Sweating

What's going on when the baby sweats and has cold hands and feet? Generally, when a baby sweats, the palms and soles of the feet often feel hot, which is what we call "hot sweat". This is a normal phenomenon where the baby's body is dissipating heat. If the baby sweats and has cold hands and feet, then this is a form of sweating, which is an abnormal situation. It is caused by the baby's inability to provide energy to the body and to dissipate heat.

2. Qi deficiency caused by poor spleen and stomach

Why does the baby sweat and have cold hands and feet? As the saying goes, "The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood metabolism." In summer, babies often have a poor appetite due to the hot weather. In addition, the baby's digestive function is weak, and the stomach and intestines cannot digest normally, which affects the health of the spleen and stomach. The source of nutrients for the body mainly depends on the intake of food digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, once the diet is unreasonable or there is a problem with the gastrointestinal digestion function, the body lacks the nutrients it needs, and thus cannot provide supply to the baby's whole body, which will cause the baby to be weak, and the baby's sweating will manifest as cold hands and feet.

3. Physical weakness and anemia

Why does my baby sweat and have cold hands and feet? My baby has iron deficiency anemia, which causes him to sweat and have cold hands and feet because the autonomic nervous system is not regulated smoothly and the blood vessels become thinner. In addition, toes, knees, shoulders, fingers and other joints are those that move a lot, have less fat, and heat is easily lost. They also have fewer blood vessels and are more likely to feel cold. The baby's hands and feet are cold, so the mother should give the baby more iron-rich foods, such as: animal liver, black fungus, egg yolk, spinach, etc.
