Answer
It is a common phenomenon for many babies around four months old to sweat during deep sleep or after slight exercise. About 70% of children who visit hospitals have night sweating or hyperhidrosis, but only a few babies have excessive sweating caused by diseases such as rickets, tuberculosis, or mild anemia. Most babies have excessive sweating due to wearing too many clothes or covers, as well as diet being a direct cause. Now, parents often worry about their baby’s malnutrition and feed their babies high-calorie fish and seafood almost every day, which may lead to the above symptoms.
