Question
How should one handle a newborn baby sweating during sleep?
Answer
Due to the higher moisture content in a baby’s skin, abundant capillaries, vigorous metabolism, and an immature autonomic nervous system, babies are prone to sweating. Consider having the child checked for trace elements, as a calcium deficiency may also lead to excessive sweating. If a calcium deficiency is confirmed, you can give the child oral cod liver oil or Betacal tablets and increase sun exposure to promote calcium absorption, thereby improving the sweating condition. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
