hi DH my son does that all the time too, I don't use blankets on him at night just feetsy pajamas or a long sleeve onsie with a "baby bag" and socks, sometimes I just let him nap in a onesie (he loves to be naked) and he still sweats. hehehe hope this don't last for when he becomes a adult!

Wow, I just popped in on this board (usually post on thyroid board) to see if there were any ?'s about sweating. I have a 6 month old and she sweats also. Only occurs when she is sleeping. I did ask the doctor about it and he said as long as it doesn't happen when she is up and active. I noticed yesterday she did not sweat at my mom's house. The room was quite cool. I don't think it is anything to worry about. I did stop putting a onesie under her pj's and less blankets.

My DS is 71/2 months and he sweats while he is nursing. His hair gets saturated with sweat and now that I really think about it, it only happends after a bath while I am nursing him to sleep. Ive never asked the Dr. about it because he never has a fever. I don't put any blankets in his crib, I usually put a longsleeve pajama shirt on and some pajama pants and socks, of course. After a bath, when I am dressing him, he hates it. Yes, he loves to be naked also.

He is so much like his father!!!!!

My daughter is the same way. She will have little dropplets on her nose and I can see them through her hair. I was worrying thinking maybe something was wrong. The back of her neck gets really wet sometimes. Glad I'm not the only one. And Jaden LOVES to be naked, LOL
