Child sweating while sleeping

Many children sweat when they sleep, so parents need to pay attention to this problem. Generally, this is normal. Children will have this phenomenon when they get too hot when sleeping. However, if this happens often and they sweat a lot, a physical examination is needed to understand the reasons why children sweat when they sleep and to protect their bodies.

Many parents do not pay much attention to the phenomenon of children sweating while sleeping. If it is caused by illness, it will cause great harm to the baby's health, so attention should be paid to this.

Solutions for children sweating while sleeping:

For normal children, parents do not need to worry even if they sweat too much, because children's sweat glands are more developed. The secretion of sweat glands is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (vagus nerve). After a child falls asleep, the vagus nerve becomes excited, causing excessive sweating. Sweating usually occurs mostly on the head and face, but it will subside within one or two hours after sleeping. At this time, you can use a dry towel to wipe off the sweat in time; change underwear frequently to prevent catching a cold due to excessive sweating; let your child take a bath frequently, and expose the bedding or sleeping bags to the sun frequently to keep them dry, and sterilize them at the same time.

Infants and young children have an active metabolism and are active and lively. Some of them cannot rest even after going to bed at night, so they may sweat on their heads after falling asleep. The so-called physiological hyperhidrosis refers to sweating during sleep when the child is well-developed, healthy, and has no disease. Parents are often accustomed to deciding the best environmental temperature for their children based on their own subjective feelings, and like to cover their babies with more blankets and keep them tightly covered. Because children's brain and nervous system are not yet fully developed and they are in the growth and development period, their body metabolism is very active. Coupled with the stimulation of overheating, they can only regulate normal body temperature by sweating to evaporate the heat in the body.

In addition, drinking milk, malted milk or eating chocolate before going to bed can also cause sweating in children. Some parents give their children milk, malted milk, etc. before they go to sleep. After the child falls asleep, the body produces a large amount of heat, which is mainly dissipated through sweating through the skin. In addition, too high room temperature or excessive warmth can also cause children to sweat while sleeping, which are all physiological sweating.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the solutions to children's sweating when sleeping. After this phenomenon occurs, you can follow the above methods to solve it, so that the baby can sweat less when sleeping. If the child loves to sweat and does not pay attention to keeping warm when sleeping, it is easy to get sick, and parents should pay attention to this.
