Why do children sweat?

Adults always sweat when the weather is hot. But if you have a baby at home, you will find that the child is more likely to sweat. Why do children sweat so much? In fact, this has a lot to do with the amount of exercise the child gets every day. Because children always like to exercise, their bodies will automatically secrete some sweat to maintain body temperature. Of course, it may also be caused by the child wearing too much.

1. Weather reasons: In summer, the weather is hot and babies sweat easily. In spring and autumn, the weather is not very cold, and some mothers worry that their babies will get cold, so they try their best to add clothes for their babies, three layers inside and three layers outside. In addition, the air conditioner is turned on at a high temperature, so babies sweat easily.

2. Environmental reasons: Babies are very popular around people, especially familiar people. They always like to hug them when they see them. They play a lot, and the weather is hot, so babies will sweat frequently.

3. Physiological reasons: The baby is small, but the amount of exercise is not small. Some noisy babies will toss and turn, which makes them prone to sweating. Some babies sweat when they just fall asleep, but the sweating decreases after they have been sleeping for a while. This is also normal and mothers don’t need to worry.

Tips for dealing with excessive sweating in babies

1. If it is hot in summer, you can consider opening windows more often for ventilation. If the temperature is too high, you can choose to turn on electric fans or air conditioners appropriately, but be careful not to set the wind too strong, too cold, or blow it towards the baby, as babies have weak resistance and are prone to catching cold.

2. When the weather is suitable, take your baby out to bask in the sun more often to enhance your baby's resistance. Mothers should pay attention to your baby's clothing. If you dress or cover your baby too much, the baby will sweat profusely and his clothes will get wet with sweat. If you don't change them in time, the baby will use his own body temperature to dry the wet clothes, which will make him catch cold easily and cause colds, fever and coughs. So the right amount of clothing is important.

3. Regardless of whether the baby sweats or not, the baby needs to be replenished with water in time. When your baby sweats, remember to wipe the sweat off his body with a soft cloth. When taking a bath, you should pay more attention to the condition of your body and change your underwear in time.

4. Don’t feed your baby any supplements. Although your baby is growing, breast milk cannot be replaced by any supplements.

5. When you find that your baby is sweating excessively, you must pay attention to observe whether there are other complications and it is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
