Does your baby sweat when s/he feeds?

DS literally drips sweat from his head. His hair is sopping, his face is sopping, if he is naked against me his entire body is soaked (apart from legs). I don't mean a little bit sticky, actual drips of water from him. Every time he feeds.

No blanket/sheet over him, room not excessively hot.

Is this normal? I worry he is burning too many calories as sweat uses lots doesn't it?
