Diva, my DS2 was a very sweaty baby, especially when sleeping. I was not worried enough to seek advice as just thought he was just well 'sweaty'. Anyway he is now 4 and he is still sweaty when he sleeps. Just think that's how it is with him! It may not be a bad thing to check with your HV just for your own peace of mind.XX

DS1 was a really sweaty baby. In the end he slept in his vest only cos he got too hot.

He's about to be 13 and still sleeps in next to nothing cos he gets too hot.

My 2 dd's always sweaty babies as well!! Everyone else seemed to have theirs well wrapped but mine just got way too hot if I put too much on them. DD2 is now five and still gets a sweaty head at night sometimes.

Ahhh! LOL at sweaty baby.

My ds was exactly the same and I think I even started a thread about it. I'd be soaked after feeding him. This thread takes me back.

He's not so sweaty now (9 months old) but I remember it well.

Just be grateful it's not summer any more.
