Sweaty baby

My DS(6 months) is so sweaty. He sweats when it's hot as we all do, but also when it's cold, and he always has clammy feet.

Am I going to have a teenager with stinking feet?

I remember last year when DS was little (born Feb 06), he used to sit in his bouncy chair and leave big wet patches from his feet! I was quite alarmed but told it was normal. Now his feet seem better, but he does get all sweaty round the back of his neck etc in his hairline. Bless him. His dad is a "sweater" too .

DD was never a sweater so I find this quite strange. He also leaves sweat marks at his head and feet. And the Hauck chair we have can't be washed !

I never noticed any particular issues with dcs when they were small but ds (3) (ds is 5) in particular sweats profusely at night, whatever the weather. I find myself having to dry pillow and pj's daily (couldn't manage to change bedding daily!). Would wash his hair daily too, other than I don't want to put myself (or the neighbours, for that matter!) through the rigmarole of dong so every day. Beginning to wonder whether I should be worried.
