1. Physiological sweating
It refers to the perspiration during sleep caused by the child's good development, health and no disease. Parents are often used to their subjective feelings to determine the best temperature of their children's environment. They like to cover their babies more tightly. Children's brain nervous system development is not perfect, but also in the growth and development period, the metabolism of the body is very strong, coupled with the stimulation of overheating, only through sweating, to evaporate the heat in the body, to regulate the normal temperature.
In addition, children drink milk, malt milk or eat chocolate before falling asleep, which can also cause sweating. Some parents drink milk and malt milk to their children before they fall asleep. After their children fall asleep, the body produces a lot of heat, which is mainly dissipated by sweating the skin. In addition, high room temperature or excessive warmth are also the reasons for sweating when children sleep, which are physiological sweating.
2. Pathological sweating
In the quiet state of the child, such as rickets sweating, performance for the first half of the night after falling asleep, the child's head obviously sweating. As the pillow is stimulated by sweat, the baby often shakes his head and rubs against the pillow when sleeping. As a result, the occipital hair is sparse and falling off, forming a typical occipital annular hair loss, which is called "occipital baldness" in medicine. It is the early manifestation of infant rickets. As long as vitamin D and calcium are supplemented in time, rickets can be controlled and sweating will stop.

The baby is very active and energetic. As long as they are not sleeping, they will not be idle. Babies who can't walk like to stretch out their hands and push their feet and turn over and over. When they are held in their mother's arms, their bodies will twist and turn around. Children who can walk and run like to run, climb up and down, or rummage through boxes and cabinets. This amount of exercise makes the body produce a lot of heat. Once the baby begins to sleep, all the systems in the body will rest, but the accumulated heat in the body has not been emitted yet. At this time, the excess heat will be emitted in the form of sweating.
