A. Yes, it is normal for a 5-month-old baby to sweat more on their forehead while breastfeeding. Sweating during feeding is a common occurrence for many infants, especially when they are exerting energy to feed. The act of sucking can require a lot of physical effort, and this can lead to increased body temperature, resulting in sweat, particularly on areas like the forehead. Babies' sweat glands are still developing, so it's not unusual for them to sweat in certain situations, like when feeding or when they are warm. However, if the sweating seems excessive or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms like difficulty breathing, unusual lethargy, or a fever, it's important to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. Otherwise, if the sweating only happens during feeding and your baby is otherwise healthy, it is generally nothing to worry about. Just make sure your baby is not too warm during feeding, and maintain a comfortable environment.
