Is it normal for a one-month-old baby to sweat?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a one-month-old baby to sweat? If it's not normal, what should I do? What kind of help do you need: I want to know this question, is it okay? If there is a problem, what should I do? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

During infancy, due to the high metabolism and the active and restless nature of children, sweating is normal. If sweating reappears when the child is at rest, such as in rickets, it is often observed in the first half of the night after falling asleep, with the child's head sweating noticeably.
Recommendation: You should promptly supplement your baby with vitamin D and calcium. Before sleep, place two dry, soft small towels or handkerchiefs behind the baby. If the towels or handkerchiefs become wet, replace them. Once the baby stops sweating, you can remove them. This ensures the baby's back stays dry while also preventing them from catching a cold after sweating. You can definitely try this, and I hope it helps your baby. Wishing your baby health and happiness.
