Nothing is more pleasing to parents then their baby sleeping soundly. ‘Sleep like a baby’ is a phrase that means to have sound sleep. Regardless to say it implies that babies have an undisturbed and satisfying slumber. Of course, it is true on many instances, but if you observe that your baby’s slumber is accompanied by excessive sweat it means not everything is well.

How Can I Help My Baby To Deal With Sweating While Sleeping?
Babies spend most of their time in the deepest stages of sleep. Hence, they are more likely to sweat while sleeping than in the hours they are awake. This is common among infants and as the baby grows, they will sweat less. In fact, you’d notice that your baby sweats more than older children and even adults. Not worrisome, though, but if you find your baby is seating excessively, you need to ascertain the cause and find a solution.
Generally a baby’s head is sweatier than the rest of his body. This is because a baby only has active sweat gland on its head. Hence, if the baby is feeling a little hot it is natural that he or she will sweat on the head. Another reason the baby’s head sweats more while sleeping is because babies do not toss and turn while sleeping. The constant position of the head causes overheating and results in sweat.
If you observe that your baby is sweating more than usual especially on the head while sleeping, chances are, there could be some health concerns. If your baby is sweating profusely at the back of this head and you observe that your baby’s skin and stools are getting drier it could mean that your baby has weak kidneys. Hence, in such cases you must consult the doctor immediately.
