What Causes Newborn To Break Out Into Sudden Cold Sweats?

My son is 9 weeks old. He s been having a lot of digestive problems and trouble keeping any formula down. We finally settled on soy and it has gotten better but still puking up every burp. He is very unsettled and needs to be held to calm and be soothed. He just started breaking out in a cold sweat. I don t have him dressed and lightly wrapped.

Welcome to healthcaremagic,
As you have stated that baby is puking frequently, kindly check if the vomiting is projectile. If the vomiting is forceful, projectile and increasing, then you have to consult a child specialist as we have to rule out a stomach disease called as congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. If the vomiting is not projectile and occasional then you have nothing to worry about.
If the baby is sweating it is because of high body temperature of baby. You can try to keep the baby in light clothes and keep the room at cooler temperature. If still the baby is sweating check the temperature of your baby. If it is more than 98.6 F then take him to a child specialist for check up.
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
