Question

My baby is almost 10 months old and has been sweating during afternoon naps for a while now, with the pillow getting wet. The child plays normally during the day. Previous treatment and effects: None. Assistance needed: I would like to know what could be the cause, and if this age’s baby sweating excessively during afternoon naps, especially around the head, should be primarily considered related to calcium deficiency.

Answer

When a child is nearly one year old and experiences nighttime sweating, it may be a sign of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test and to supplement calcium and vitamin D based on the test results.
