Toddler sweating from the head at night
Hi, does anyone’s baby sweat a lot from the head? right when sleep begins, his hair is all wet from sweating. This goes on for an hour or so then it stops for the rest of the night. His room temp is 22-22.5C (71F). He wears just a PJ set, and nothing else, but then often wakes up at night perhaps because he’s cold. At night when I check his back, his skin is cool and not warm. I’m not sure what to do, I have try everything, he has a cooling gel mattress, cooling bedsheet, cooling pillow but nothing has helped! We noticed this since he moved to his floor mattress. Previously in the crib we had the Newton mattress, but they don’t sell a bigger version. I also tried putting him back into a 0.5 TOG sleep slack, wearing just short and t shirt inside. He sweats more at the beginning but slept through the night.

We also found that having her sleep with no socks helped reasled her body heat better, and we've had a lot less sweating since! Hope this helps 🤍😁
I think it's normal
My daughters the same! When she was really warm we would just put her in a light sleep sack wearing just a diaper and socks and then before we went to bed and her room cooled down a bit we would change her into jammies and a sleep sack
Thank you mamas!! ❤️❤️

My daughter is the exact same way! When discussing it with my doctor, I was told it's completely normal! Sweating is our body's way of flushing out toxins and bacteria ! My girl was sweating buckets, so I started putting a lighter blanket, but then she was waking up cold. We switch back to a normal blanket for her, and she sweats, but she's warm and sleeps like a charm! If the room temperature is normal and kiddos in good health, sweating while falling asleep could just be a sign that his body's working to flush properly! :)
