Why do babies sweat?

Sweating is a physiological phenomenon. The body emits heat through sweating to maintain normal body temperature. In infants and young children, the water content of the skin is high and there are many microvessels, so the water evaporated through the skin is also high. Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis.

Most of the sweating in children is physiological.

Because children are metabolically active and active, they sweat more than adults. In addition, too much clothing, too thick a cover, too high a room temperature can make children sweat more, and giving children too hot milk or other diets can also cause sweating.

Sweating when you first fall asleep may be due to the need to release excess energy in your body. Therefore, adding or removing clothes and adjusting the room temperature to a comfortable level can help your baby sweat less.

A common problem in children with pathological sweating is vitamin D deficiency rickets.

The so-called calcium deficiency is actually a vitamin D deficiency, because calcium in the milk contains a lot, but to vitamin D to help the absorption and utilization of calcium.
