Baby Sweats During Nursing, Not Fatigued While Bouncing, Hasn't Drunk 3 Ounces. Reason?
Hello. Our 6 3/4 month old baby boy: He sweats only while nursing. Other wise we haven't noticed any blueness anywhere, and he doesn't seem to get fatigued when he bounces on his feet about 6 times in a row repeatedly, about 3 to 4 times, laughing and screaming. However, he still hasn't drank over 2.5 to 3 ounces in one feeding on the bottle. He's in the 18th percentile for weight, but doc. says he's still developing healthily. Heart related concerns?

Hi Dear.
Welcome to the Health care magic.
Things to be ruled out for sweating during feeds;
Most Important-- Nasal blockage--use saline drops always before feeds.
Cardiac anamollies to be ruled out by colour doppler echocardiography.
Ocasionnally the vague symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency may be sweating in the forhead.
Hope the query is answered
Thanks
