Why do babies sweat profusely when they sleep?

Dissipate excess heat.

The baby is lively and active, the amount of exercise during the day is large, the calories generated, sometimes it is too late to dissipate the excess heat through sweating in time, the heat accumulates in the baby's body, it is time to fall asleep, at this time the other functions of the body are weakened, the heat produced is reduced, the sympathetic nerve sensitivity is weakened, and the body emits excess heat through sweating to maintain the body's normal body temperature.

There are two reasons for baby sweating, one is physiological sweating, and the other is pathological sweating, such as rickets, heart and lung diseases, and tuberculosis. Most baby sweating is physiological hyperhidrosis, which is because the baby's metabolism is vigorous, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

The baby is always sweating profusely when he sleeps, probably because the weather is too hot, he wears too many clothes, and the quilt is too thick.

The baby is always moving, and the speed of its breathing and heartbeat is much higher than that of adults, that is, the metabolism of the baby's body is more vigorous than that of adults. The pores of sweat in other parts of the body are not yet mature except for the top of the head, so the sweat produced throughout the body can only be discharged from the top of the head.

The sweating of the baby during sleep is mainly due to the relatively high temperature in the room, and some sweating may be caused by calcium deficiency, which will be manifested as head and neck sweating.

It may be because the quilt covered by the baby is relatively thick, and then the baby is covered too tightly, which will lead to the phenomenon of the baby sweating profusely.

Sweating in children is divided into physiological night sweats and pathological osmotic night sweats. Physiological refers to: when the child is full of capillaries, the metabolism is relatively vigorous, and the autonomic nerve adjustment function is not yet perfect.

Pathological refers to the fact that the child sweats more in the first half of the night after falling asleep, which is often caused by calcium deficiency.

Yisui is a physiological reason, because the child is relatively young, the metabolism is relatively vigorous, and the development of autonomic nerve function is very imperfect, and the child's basal body temperature is high. The second is pathological causes, the most common is rickets caused by lack of vitamin D, at this time, in addition to sweating, the child may also have restless sleep, crying and other reasons are such as the temperature of the child's room is relatively high, or the family guesses that the spread of the cover can also cause the baby to sweat.

Sometimes the body is deficient in calcium, and when there is a lack of trace elements, there will be night sweats, obviously not hot, and there is not much to wear, but it is sweating, you can go to the hospital to check the trace elements, and treat the symptoms.

If parents are particularly worried, they should go to the hospital to check what kind of vitamins the baby is lacking.

There are various reasons such as too much quilt covering, and the child sweats. It is also possible that the child has a fever, and the normal phenomenon of slow lifting and sweating after the fever has subsided, and there is also a possibility that the child is frightened in his sleep.

It may be hot, parents should be careful not to cover the quilt too thickly, and if this is often the case, you can go to the doctor.

There are many reasons why the baby is sweating, first of all, it is necessary to rule out whether it is too much to wear and the reason why the quilt is too thick. Secondly, it is necessary to consider whether the baby has a fever, because there will be sweating after the fever. Finally, it may be the sweating phenomenon of the sleeping baby who is frightened.

If the ambient temperature is too high or too thick, it is necessary to keep the ambient temperature moderate, comfortable and breathable; Vitamin D deficiency rickets, in addition to sweating, is often accompanied by symptoms such as occipital baldness and night crying.

Because it is too hot, the child will sweat a lot when he sleeps, and another reason is that the child is too weak.
