Baby sweating while feeding

Various problems will arise in every stage of a baby's growth. Some problems are normal, while some problems only occur in a few babies. However, distinguishing between these two situations is difficult for most new mothers. For example, when the baby sweats while breastfeeding, many mothers suspect that the baby is too weak, while some mothers simply raise the room temperature.

So what are the common reasons why babies sweat while feeding? Is it because the air temperature is too high? Is it a disease for babies to sweat while breastfeeding? Many new mothers will anxiously ask these questions when they see their babies sweating after feeding.

Some children often sweat during sleep, and their clothes and pillowcases are soaked with sweat. This phenomenon is called night sweats in traditional Chinese medicine. Many parents are worried about this, and although they seek medical treatment everywhere, it is still not very effective. In fact, children's night sweats are not necessarily pathological. Most of them are physiological night sweats. Because children's skin has more moisture, rich capillaries, vigorous metabolism, and incomplete autonomic nervous regulation function, they are prone to sweating during activities. If children move too much before going to bed, the body's heat production may increase, or soon after eating, gastrointestinal motility may increase, gastric juice secretion may increase, and sweat gland secretion may also increase accordingly. These can cause children to sweat more after sleeping, especially within 2 hours after sweating. Pathological night sweats are more common in rickets, mainly in children under 3 years old, and are mainly manifested in sweating in the first half of the night, which is caused by low blood calcium. The night sweats of children with tuberculosis are characterized by sweating all night. Children also have symptoms such as low fever and weight loss, no or no weight gain, loss of appetite, and mood changes.

From the above introduction, we can understand that babies sweating while feeding is generally a phenomenon of night sweats, which is not always pathological. Mothers don't need to worry too much. However, if the child's sweating is concentrated in the first half of the night, mothers should pay attention to whether it is rickets. You don't need to be overly nervous about any abnormalities in your baby, but you can't ignore them completely either.
