really sweaty 2 month old - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

my son who is 2 months has always sweats a lot! I looked it up and it says its probably normal or heart failure or overactive thyroid...that doesn't help too much. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this! He doesn't have other symptoms. he just gets really sweaty...at night, when he's feeding, when he's crying, etc. He has healthy weight gain, so I'm not sure what to think. please, if anyone has any suggestions! thanks

My son sweats alot too, but i try to avoid it by leaving him in just a diaper when hes at home and not covering him too much or have the fan blow in his direction.

My bf always strips him down too, but I feel like he's cold. His hands and feet will feel all cold and clamy, but his head will be sweating like crazy

My kids a re hotboxes! I let them sleep in limited clothing in the summer and on warmer days. It's only 70 out right now and they are both drenched with sweat!

What does your doctor say? Did you ask about this at your 2 month visit? This is exactly the type of question that doctors are looking for when you come in for well-child visits.
