What Causes Head Sweating And Skin Coolness?
My son is almost 3 months old. When he fell asleep in my arms earlier I noticed his head was quite sweaty but his skin felt cool but then went away. Is that a cold sweat? Is that normal and what causes that? He does get sweaty sometimes but I never really noticed what I noticed today. Im really nervous. HELP PLEASE !!

Sweating is normal body's mechanism to regulate temperature. Infants head body surface area is also more. So excessive sweating is normal. Take care that you don't cover the body more.Keep the extremities covered to keep them warm. Regards
