Sweating on hands and feet is a situation that everyone will personally experience, and newborn babies also sweat on their hands and feet. Some parents have found that babies usually sweat a lot on their hands and feet throughout the entire process of taking care of their newborns. So, what's going on with the sweaty hands and feet of a 4-month-old baby?
The main reasons for four month old babies sweating on their hands and feet include the following categories:
1. Physiological sweating is the main cause of hand and foot sweating in 4-month-old infants. Due to the fact that four month old infants are in childhood, their metabolism is rich, their skin has high moisture content, and their capillaries are widely distributed. As a result, infants are generally happy and active, and their sweating on their hands and feet is much higher than that of adults.
2. Environmental factors are also one of the reasons why infants sweat on their hands and feet. If the temperature of the environment where the baby is located is too high and the clothes worn by the baby are too thick, it can also cause the baby to sweat. This kind of sweating is not only reflected in the baby's hands and feet, but also throughout the baby's body. Sweating is the entire process of developing specific immunity in the baby's body, so parents don't have to worry too much. Creating a cool natural environment for the baby immediately can alleviate the symptoms.
3. In addition, sweating on the hands and feet of infants may also be pathological sweating. This may mean that the baby has some abnormal diseases. For example, calcium and zinc deficiency. Therefore, parents must send their babies to the hospital for examination and targeted treatment.
Babies who sweat on their hands and feet at 4 months old should be given timely hydration to prevent catching a cold. After hydration, sweating symptoms will improve.
