During the first months it is common for baby to perspire excessively. This characteristic can cause discomfort at bedtime. In this article, discover tips for everyone at home to get an excellent night's sleep.
Has excessive sweating been harming your baby's sleep and health? Sweating, the natural process of perspiration, is a regulatory mechanism that contributes to the maintenance of body temperature.
In babies, due to the constant metabolic changes they go through, sweating tends to be more intense and generate discomfort.
This happens because the system that controls the production of humidity only matures between 18 and 20 months of age. Sweat is concentrated mainly in the armpits, back, feet, chest and head.
How can sweating affect babies' well-being?
The sweat expelled tends to accumulate on the clothes and even on the mattress where they sleep, these become ideal places for the proliferation of bacteria and fungi, which can irritate and cause allergies on children's skin.
In this situation, small irritations can appear in the areas of greatest perspiration and symptoms such as itching, redness on the skin and swelling.
In addition, the sensation of heat can cause discomfort, especially in summer, which impairs babies' sleep, often transmitted through crying. (To find out more about how to improve the quality of your baby's sleep, click here)
