Doctor's answer:
When babies sweat during deep sleep or even with slight movement, it is a very common phenomenon. Among children returning for follow-up visits at hospitals, about 70% suffer from nocturnal hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. However, only a small fraction of these cases are caused by conditions such as rickets, tuberculosis, or mild anemia. The majority of babies do not have any specific underlying diseases. Besides wearing too many clothes or covering up excessively, diet also has a direct relationship with excessive sweating. Nowadays, parents are always worried about their babies' malnutrition. Many babies almost eat high-calorie fish and shrimp every day, which can lead to the symptoms mentioned above.
