The happiest thing for babies is nothing more than eating and sleeping. Of course, if they feel a little uncomfortable, they will cry and resist, especially in summer. Babies are prone to poor sleep and waking up easily. Mothers are afraid that their babies will catch a cold while sleeping, so they will wrap them tightly, which also makes them uncomfortable. Let's learn about the reactions of babies who sleep too hot.
What are the reactions of babies when they sleep too hot
1. The vast majority of babies sweating during sleep is a normal condition, which is mainly related to the child's own characteristics. Children are naturally active and energetic. Whether they are babies in swaddling clothes or running around on the ground, as long as they are not in a sleeping state, they are basically not idle.
2. Once the baby begins to fall asleep, all systems in the body come to rest, but the accumulated heat in the body has not yet been dissipated. At this point, the excess heat is dissipated in the form of sweating.
3. The symptoms of children being too hot vary depending on their age. Sometimes there may be abnormal situations such as kicking the blanket, restless sleep, and lack of appetite. At this time, the mother must pay high attention. In addition to using physical cooling, appropriate fluid replacement therapy should also be used.
How to take care of babies who sweat a lot while sleeping
1. When wearing clothes, it is best to be lightweight and suitable, and avoid wearing too much or covering them too hot.
2. At the beginning of a baby's sleep, it is advisable to cover them with fewer clothes and blankets. After the baby has fallen asleep and sweated, they can be given a blanket that is suitable for the season. For babies who sweat a lot, you can also place a dry towel under their pillow and behind their back. After the sweat has passed, remove the damp towel and cover it with appropriate bedding. Children's clothing and bedding should be similar to adults, but not more than adults.
3. For babies who love to sweat, they should be given timely hydration and mineral supplements. Usually, in terms of dietary arrangements, give children more foods rich in zinc, iron, and calcium.
Of course, babies may feel too hot while sleeping and may not be able to express themselves clearly. However, for parents, it is important to learn to observe and understand their children's habits in order to avoid any abnormalities that may not be detected in a timely manner. At the same time, for babies who are not sleeping properly, it is necessary to repeatedly check their sleeping habits to avoid improper posture or overheating that may affect their children.
