lo is 8 mths just and has always sweated heavily when she is feeding.
Anyone else? Have managed to convince myself she's really poorly, lol.
She's 5th bf bubs o not a novice.

Someone said hv had told her shows baby regulating temp well.

Thoughts?

How is her weight gain? Does she seem unwell in any other way? Do you hve any concerns other than the sweating?

My DD sweats quite a lot when feeding or lying near me. She is otherwise completely healthy - my GP told me to stop worrying.

weight gain is slow but fairly steady now. She was 17 days early and weighed 9lbs 5ozs!!! God knows why, cos now she's about 16lbs i guess.

Don't really think i've got any reason to be concerned, just seems a bit odd. She loves feeding, am blw and she enjoys food when she wants it.
I dunno, just never come across it before.It's just her head that sweats. I suppose my concern is that maybe it's hard work for her for some sinister reason that I don't know about.
Just being silly i know, just have always had a worrying feeling about her. Nothing I could ever put my finger on though.

I meant to say that it is my DDs head that sweats as well - makes her hair really curly.

If you're worried, I would speak to your GP, though.
