Is the baby sweating because of this or that deficiency? Who made these rumors!

4:15 in the morning & Yueyue Mama & TaotaoG are you up? My baby has been sweating all night. I didn\’t sleep much and kept wiping the baby\’s sweat. What\’s going on with the baby? Are you too weak? Ask for answers! 12 noon & Gardenia Blossoms & Swordsman Special Chicken, I have been following our platform and I really like you. I have a question today. I don’t know whether it’s because it’s too hot these days or it’s not growing well. My child is sweating like he’s been washed every day. What should I do? 9:30 pm & Xiang Yang & My question is, my baby is now 6 months old. When I was breastfeeding at 5 months old, I noticed that my head always sweats a lot, and I also sweat a lot at night. A friend of mine said that it is due to a lack of trace elements. ,Do you agree? I\’m really worried that if my baby keeps sweating, he will get something wrong… Let\’s see! Everyone pays more attention to me and talks to me every day from waking up to lunch to good night. Tell the truth, do you all have a crush on me? Just say that I am a friend of fairies. Some people still don’t believe it. Printing out so many messages would be enough to circle half the world~ Ahem…don’t slap me in the face. Let me brag to everyone in my daily tiring life. Just relax! By the way, there are really many mothers saying that their babies sweat a lot recently! Is the baby\’s excessive sweating really a sign of physical weakness or poor development? Then I will lead everyone to study together. 01. Why does the baby sweat a lot? Under normal circumstances, it is normal for babies to sweat excessively. Mothers do not need to worry, and do not blindly believe in various rumors that \”the baby is weak, does not develop well, and lacks trace elements…\” just because of excessive sweating. Suddenly I felt that our platform would have to let me make a rumor refuting column sooner or later! There\’s nothing you can do about it, because rumors are a stumbling block on the road to scientific parenting. You must kill them quickly, but don’t be afraid, I am very gentle to you~ (1) The special characteristics of the baby’s physiological structure. The baby is in the stage of growing, and the metabolism is relatively strong, especially the more active baby, who does not want to sweat. It’s all very difficult! Babies who are just a few weeks or months old do not have fully developed sweat glands. They lie down all day with little activity, and their bodies will not sweat much at this time. However, if the baby is covered with lots of bedding, the windows are not opened at home, and the indoor temperature is high, the baby will also sweat a lot. Some parents also like to use non-breathable diaper pads for their babies, which will also cause the baby to be stuffy and sweat. . For older babies, the sweating parts of the body may be mainly concentrated on the forehead. This is because the sweat pores in other parts of the baby\’s body have not yet fully opened and the sweat glands are not fully developed. At this time, sweat can only be discharged through the head. As the baby grows up, the development of sweat glands is perfected, and the amount of activity increases, the amount of sweat will also increase, especially after the baby eats milk and plays with adults, it becomes more obvious. For older babies, when the baby is 2 to 3 years old, the phenomenon of excessive sweating mostly occurs within a few hours after falling asleep. This is caused by the imperfect development of the baby\’s nervous system. As the baby gradually grows up, this phenomenon will occur. The phenomenon of excessive sweating will disappear. (2) Wearing too much or having the thermal effect of food sometimesIf the baby sweats a lot, it is simply because you have a \”grandma who is afraid of the cold\” at home and puts too much bedding, clothing, and coverings on the baby. Some parents always use their own feelings to judge whether their baby is hot or cold. Especially the elderly at home are afraid of the cold, so when they feel a little cold, they will cover their baby with a small coat. However, babies have a fast metabolism and relatively strong physical energy, so they are more prone to overheating than the elderly. As long as the baby\’s neck and back feel warm to touch, it proves that the baby is wearing and covering enough. Wearing and covering more clothes is a very important reason why babies sweat more. In addition, after the baby drinks milk or eats, the body will generate a certain amount of heat. If the baby is in a quiet state of sleep at this time, more heat will be generated, causing sweating. Especially for babies who have the habit of sleeping on breast milk, if they fall asleep while eating, the phenomenon of sweating will be more obvious. As the saying goes, \”use all your strength to feed.\” For babies, feeding is the most tiring thing at present. It is common for babies to fall asleep when tired from feeding. How can they not sweat when they are so tired? What? Mothers who have the habit of breast-feeding and sleeping, please recall, is this the case for your baby? (3) Autonomic nerve disorder. Sometimes the room is not hot, but the baby sweats a lot. This is mainly related to the development of the baby\’s own autonomic nerves. In order to make it easier for everyone to understand more vividly, you can think about whether you have been \”scared\” recently. After being frightened, your body will sweat, but you will not feel hot. This is because the autonomic nerves are stimulated. The baby\’s ability to regulate autonomic nerves is not yet perfect, causing him to sweat even when he is not hot. These are normal phenomena during the baby\’s development. Parents should not worry too much. As the baby\’s nervous system matures, this phenomenon will disappear. It will get better. As long as the baby eats well, sleeps well, plays well, and grows and develops within normal levels, parents do not need to pay special attention to the baby\’s sweating problem. Instead, you should moderately replenish the baby with water after the baby sweats (babies under 6 months old, breastfeed), and just be careful not to catch a cold after sweating~ Is this related to the baby\’s sweating? As soon as many babies sweat, they will be said to be calcium deficient, physically weak, lacking trace elements, etc. Are these really related to the baby\’s excessive sweating? (1) Calcium deficiency Since vitamin D can promote the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorus, if vitamin D is insufficient, it will affect the absorption of calcium. What people often understand as calcium deficiency is actually a lack of vitamin D. Although it is undeniable that vitamin D deficiency rickets will cause excessive sweating in babies, in addition to excessive sweating, rickets can also manifest as rib beads, square skull, O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs, etc. It cannot be diagnosed simply by excessive sweating. It is determined that the baby is calcium deficient. Parents should review at this time whether they have supplemented their babies with vitamin D on time and in the right amount, because I know that many parents supplement their babies with vitamin D intermittently. If you do not supplement on time, please supplement vitamin D in time. If it is rickets that has been diagnosed by a doctor, you should follow the doctor\’s instructions for relevant treatment instead of calcium supplementation. (2) Body deficiency is a theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and there is basically no clear cause of the disease, such as not sleeping well, weight loss, and irritability.etc. were all attributed to physical weakness. The conclusion is that the body is weak and there is no accurate treatment. In fact, if you are sick, you should see a doctor to find out the cause of the disease so that it can be solved easily. Don’t do Tai Chi and just add this and that. Don’t just give your baby some small Chinese medicines or pills. However, in some special cases, such as babies who are seriously ill, babies with congenital heart disease, hypoglycemia, malaria, lupus, tuberculosis, diabetes and thyroid problems, they may sweat excessively, but the baby\’s The symptoms are by no means limited to sweating, but are also accompanied by other symptoms. If the baby sweats a lot and has other abnormal symptoms, parents should take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible. (3) Trace elements Some people think that babies sweat more because they lack trace elements, and they plan to take their babies for trace element-related examinations. Taotao G can tell you clearly here that no matter what trace element detection method is adopted, it is completely unreliable! If someone again suggests that you do trace element testing, please be sure to refuse decisively. Instead of focusing on how to check and supplement those meaningless trace elements, it is more practical to adjust the baby\’s diet, have balanced nutrition, not be picky about food, and feed regularly and quantitatively. 03. Caring for babies with excessive sweating. As long as the baby grows and develops normally and has no abnormal symptoms, excessive sweating will have no other disadvantages except making it uncomfortable. Parents need to pay extra attention to not teasing the baby before going to bed, so as not to be too excited before going to bed and unable to stabilize the nerves, causing the baby to sweat excessively; baby bedding needs to be made of pure cotton and replaced in time; pay attention after the baby sweats Don\’t catch cold, bathe the baby in time to keep him dry; ensure the baby has enough water or milk intake to maintain the body\’s water and salt metabolism balance.
