Why does a child sleep without a blanket?

Adults always think that babies have no heat in their bodies and are easily afraid of cold, so they cover them very warmly even in summer, which can cause prickly heat and eczema on babies. In fact, if the baby sweats too much and is covered too thickly, the baby's body resistance will be reduced, and the baby will catch a cold if the wind blows even a little. Therefore, there is no need to cover the baby too tightly in summer. The baby may not cover himself with a blanket because he feels hot.

Babies at this stage have well-developed sweat glands, active metabolism, and are usually very active. In addition, infants' skin contains more water and has more microvessels on the surface of the skin, so more water evaporates from the skin. Therefore, parents will feel that their babies sweat a lot. There are normal and abnormal conditions for babies to sweat a lot. Generally, we call physiological hyperhidrosis normal sweating. The causes of physiological hyperhidrosis are generally the following:

1. The weather is hot or the indoor air-conditioning temperature is too high, causing the baby to sweat excessively;

2. Babies sweat a lot after playing games or doing strenuous exercise;

3. The baby wears too many clothes;

4. The quilt is too thick at night, causing the baby to overheat and sweat a lot;

Pathological sweating is abnormal sweating with more complicated causes, such as childhood obesity, hypoglycemia, drug-induced hyperhidrosis, pediatric cardiopulmonary disease, pediatric rickets, etc. If you find that your baby is sweating a lot on the whole body or in some parts of his body when he is quiet, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and consult a doctor.

Method 1: Wear a sleeping bag and a long-sleeved autumn shirt inside, so that even if the child exposes his arms, he will not feel cold.

Method 2: Let your baby wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks to sleep. If you are worried that the baby’s belly will be exposed during sleep, you can wrap a belly band around the baby. Please note that if you wear a sleeping bag, it must be loose. If the space in the sleeping bag is too narrow, the child will be easily hindered from turning over, and will often wake up at night, affecting the quality of sleep.

Children's body temperature is higher than that of adults. Try not to cover them too thickly, as it may reduce their immunity. If sweating is severe, it is definitely related to calcium deficiency. It is best to go to the hospital to check the trace elements and supplement them appropriately, such as Diqiao calcium carbonate granules or American Childhood Time.
