ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. hot head without fever is a result of baby’s undeveloped thermoregulation system.
Take off extra layers of clothes and blankets.
Breastfeed it more often.
Massage the body gently and soothingly.
Keep room temperature comfortable.
it's not because of head shave
charuFather of a 3 yr 11 m old boy3 years agoA. It is common in babies that their body heat passes through head or some particular body part like feet or palms.
This is because their heat regulation system in body is not fully developed. It takes its own time.
You are noticing it now after head shaving because you can touch the head. Earlier due to hair it was less observable.
Keep room temperature normal or a little cold. This shows baby is feeling hot same as we feel.
Do not put much clothes on baby. Just the way we like to be in summers, the babies also feel the same.
Their body temperature changes with the need.
So just comfort your baby. Rest is all fine.😊
