Many babies sleep at night and sweat. What's the matter? Many mothers will encounter such a situation when they care for their babies: when they sleep at night, they don't cover things for my baby and touch her head full of sweat. And I didn't even feel hot. Is sweating more because of calcium deficiency?
In five cases, children belong to physiological hyperhidrosis
Baby sweating in sleep is common, not all of them are weak, sick symptoms. Many parents think that their children are weak, so they sweat constantly. In fact, a considerable number of children are physiological hyperhidrosis. The so-called physiological hyperhidrosis, refers to the child's good development, good health, no disease caused by sleep sweating. Physiological hyperhidrosis is more common in the head and neck, generally occurs in the first half of the night just fall asleep, after a deep sleep sweat will gradually subside.
It is often caused by the following five reasons:
1. In infancy, due to the vigorous metabolism and children's active, some children are restless even after going to bed at night, so their head can sweat after falling asleep.
2. Parents are often used to their own subjective feelings to determine the best ambient temperature of children, like to cover the baby more, cover tightly. Because the development of children's brain nervous system is not perfect, but also in the period of growth and development, the metabolism of the body is very strong, coupled with the stimulation of overheating, only through sweating, to evaporate the body heat, to regulate the normal temperature.
3. Some active children have a large amount of exercise during the day and produce a lot of heat. The body has no ability to radiate the excess heat through sweating. The heat accumulates in the baby's body, and the baby's temperature can reach about 38 ℃ at night. After the baby falls asleep, the amount of heat produced is reduced and the sympathetic nerve sensitivity is weakened. The body emits excess heat through sweating to maintain the normal body temperature.
4. In addition, children drink milk, malt cream or eat chocolate before going to sleep can also cause sweating. Some parents give their children milk and malt milk before they fall asleep. After their children fall asleep, the body produces a lot of heat, mainly through skin sweating to dissipate heat.
5. In summer, the weather is muggy and the bedroom is not well ventilated, so the baby is more likely to sweat.
For physiological sweating, parents do not have to worry too much, this is just a physiological phenomenon in the process of baby growth, with the growth of baby age, this phenomenon will gradually reduce.
