It's normal for babies to sweat. In most instances, there's nothing to worry about. Often a simple adjustment — such as lowering the room temperature or dressing your baby in fewer layers — is all it takes. So don't sweat it.When babies are in a deep sleep, they tend to sweat, as they do not move as much as adults do. Body temperature may rise when the baby stays in one position for a long time, and sweating is the body’s way of regulating this increase in temperature.Unlike adults, babies’ sweat glands are located close to their heads. This causes them to sweat excessively at night, especially because they do not change their head positions while sleeping, as much as they do when they are awake. As mentioned above, sleeping in one position may cause body temperature to rise, and sweating helps ensure that it is regulated.Remember to dress your baby in breathable and light clothes. This will keep the baby’s body temperature under control and bring down night sweating. Irrespective of whether your baby has a night sweating problem or not, it is important to dress him in comfortable clothing for a sound sleep.You may want to consult a doctor if your baby continues to sweat at night, even after taking the above precautions. The cause of night sweating in babies must be diagnosed at the right time, for appropriate treatment.If excessive head sweating is accompanied by dry stool and dry skin, this could be an indication that the baby has weak kidneys, and it is advisable to consult a doctor, as soon as possible.Look out for other signs or symptoms in your baby, like head banging, rocking, teeth grinding, snoring, and snorting. If you notice these symptoms, along with night sweats, you must consult your paediatrician immediately.
