Question

Is it normal for a newborn to not sweat after one month? How should parents deal with this situation?

Answer

A newborn not sweating after one month may be due to incomplete development of the sweat glands, and usually does not require excessive concern. Parents can help the baby through appropriate care measures, such as:

  1. Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and avoiding overwrapping the baby to facilitate heat dissipation.
  2. Bathing the baby regularly to promote skin health.
  3. Following the doctor’s advice, regularly providing the baby with cod liver oil and an appropriate amount of calcium to promote bone growth. Please continue to observe the baby’s condition. If there are still concerns, it is recommended to consult with a professional healthcare provider.
