There are many causes of sweating in children, and it is normal for healthy children to sweat a lot on their heads and even all over their bodies after playing, especially when the temperature is high. In infants, excessive sweating during the night is associated with a high basal metabolic rate.
However, some infants may also have reduced or even no hair on the occipital area of the head, sudden awakening at night or even crying and screaming, which are mostly due to vitamin D or calcium deficiency.
