How to treat excessive sweating in babies when they sleep

Patient's question:

My baby is almost 1 week old. When she was over 10 months old, she often sweated during the night when taking naps, and her pillow would be damp. She plays normally otherwise.
Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: I would like to ask what might be causing this.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby of this age starts napping again and sweats a lot, with the head being particularly affected, the first consideration should be related to calcium deficiency. Therefore, for the child's current condition, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for trace element testing (preferably blood tests for accuracy). Based on the test results, timely supplementation should be administered. It is also recommended to supplement with vitamin D while addressing the calcium deficiency. The above advice is for the question "11-month-old baby loves to sweat during naps at night." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
