A. Close Connection: The close, skin-to-skin contact with the feeding mother increases the baby’s body temperature. Oodles of Energy: Suckling needs a lot of energy. The movement of the jaw while suckling is a kind of exercise for the baby and the baby sweats as a result of putting in the effort. Hot Head: Have you also noticed the baby’s head sweating while breastfeeding? Many mothers tend to hold the baby in the same cradle position while feeding. Often, the mother holds the baby’s head in her palms in this position for a long time. This passes on more warmth from the palm, causing the baby’s head to sweat. Too Many Layers: Sometimes, the baby is warm because of the many layers he is covered in. That may make him sweat. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/why-does-your-baby-sweat-while-breastfeeding/
