Do you often encounter such a situation, obviously the weather temperature is very low, you feel cold and fluttering, and your baby is sweating on his hands and feet, touching the tide.
Such a situation always makes you particularly worried, always feel that the baby's body is missing something? So they rushed to the hospital for various examinations, and most babies sweating on their hands and feet is normal.
The metabolism is relatively strong
The metabolism of the child itself is relatively vigorous, and it is more lively and active, while the body temperature regulation center has not yet fully matured, and the body temperature is easily affected by the external environment. For example, children exercise too much or indoor temperature is too high, wear too much clothing, can easily lead to symptoms of sweating hands and feet.
If this is the case, we should reduce the temperature of the environment, reduce the child's clothing, but also add an appropriate amount of warm boiled water to the child, and the phenomenon of the child sweating will be alleviated.
The sweat glands are not mature
The baby's own nervous system to regulate sweat glands is not yet mature, but the sweat accumulated in the body needs an "outlet" to excrete, and the sweat glands of the child's head and limbs are more developed, so most of the sweat will be discharged through the hands, feet and head, so the hands and feet are always wet.
Fist
This point is mainly for small months of age infants, this stage of the baby, most of their hands are in a state of holding, so the heat of the palms can not be dissipated in time, there will be palm sweating phenomenon.
The reason for this kind of palm sweating, parents do not have to worry, as the baby develops and grows, the posture of the small hand holding the fist will slowly unfold, and at that time, this situation will gradually disappear.
Go to sleep after eating
Many babies often eat and eat and fall asleep, and the body usually produces a lot of calories in order to digest and absorb, which leads to an increase in the amount of sweating of the child, so we should try to minimize the baby's fullness and sleep immediately, and let the baby rest for a while after eating and then fall asleep.
Vitamin D deficiency and calcium deficiency
In this case, in addition to sweating on the hands and feet, the baby will also sweat in other parts of the body, accompanied by unstable sleep at night, frequent wake-up at night, crying, square skull, chicken breast, funnel chest and other clinical symptoms, then you must actively supplement vitamin D and calcium.
In addition to vitamin D supplementation, if the baby is a small month old, breastfeeding should be carried out, because the nutrition in breast milk is completely enough for the baby's needs, but this is the premise that the mother should eat a balanced diet. Secondly, you can take your baby to participate in more outdoor activities, more sun, ultraviolet rays can promote calcium deposition of vitamin D.
Other diseases
If the baby's body suffers from certain diseases, the sympathetic function that controls sweating in the hands and feet may be abnormal, and the baby's hands and feet are prone to sweating. This pathological sweating of the hands and feet is common in recurrent respiratory infections, tuberculosis, and calcium deficiency.
In the above situation, parents should go to the hospital in time and ask the doctor to identify which phenomenon it is.
Sweating plays an important regulatory role in regulating human body temperature and maintaining metabolic balance, in general, baby sweating is a normal, phased phenomenon in the process of growth and development, and parents do not have to worry too much.
