Excuse me, why does the two-and-a-half-year-old baby sweat every nap? Aren't you hot?

I believe all mothers have had this experience. It is clear that the weather is not hot, and children sweat as soon as they sleep. What's going on here? Is the child sick?

Don't worry, this is mostly normal physiological sweating. Today, let's talk about this topic:

Why do children sweat more after falling asleep? Mostly related to the following reasons

1. Normal physiological phenomenon

It is common for babies to sweat while sleeping, which is not a sign of physical illness or poor health. Many parents think that the baby's poor health makes him sweat. In fact, most of the baby's sleep sweating is physiological sweating.

Physiological sweating mostly occurs in the head and neck, usually within 30 minutes after falling asleep, and stops sweating 1 hour after falling asleep.

2. Strong metabolism

The baby's metabolic rate is strong, and the baby is more active. He keeps moving after sleeping at night, and may sweat after falling asleep.

The so-called "physiological hyperhidrosis" means that the baby is in good health and develops normally, and does not sweat during sleep caused by any disease. Parents often like to judge the baby's heat and cold by their own subjective feelings, so they will cover the baby with many quilts and cover them tightly.

The baby's brain nervous system is not yet mature and is in the growth and development stage. The metabolic rate of the body is very strong. Coupled with the overheating stimulation of the environment, the heat in the body can only be dissipated through sweating to maintain normal body temperature.

3. The heat can't dissipate

Some babies are lively and active, with a large amount of activity during the day and a lot of heat generated in the body, so the body can't excrete excess heat through sweating in time. Excess heat accumulates in the body, and the baby's body temperature may be as high as 38℃ at night. After the baby falls asleep, the heat generated in the body decreases and the sensitivity of sympathetic nerves decreases. The body will excrete excess heat through sweating, thus maintaining normal body temperature.

4. The bedroom is stuffy and stuffy.

Especially in summer, the weather is sultry. If the room is no longer well ventilated, the baby will sweat more easily. This usually happens shortly after falling asleep in the middle of the night, and sweating will be improved after entering a deep sleep state. Don't worry about the baby's physical sweating. This is just a normal physiological phenomenon during the baby's growth and development. As the baby grows up, the phenomenon of sweating after sleeping will gradually decrease.

5. The influence of diet before going to bed

Eating chocolate or drinking milk or malt extract before going to bed can cause a lot of sweating after falling asleep. After the baby eats these foods, the body will generate a lot of heat, and the baby will mainly sweat through the skin to dissipate heat, so there will be a lot of sweat after falling asleep.
