My son (2) has sort of always been this way, but I was just curious. He can get SO sweaty when he sleeps! Like there will be a huge sweat circle around his head on the sheet when he awakens. Then, of course, he's cold afterwards. It mostly seems to be when he sleeps. Anyone else?
TIA |

| Could it be that you have him too well wrapped up/keep the room too warm at night? |

| Op Here: no actually, he rarely had a blanket on and light PJs. |

| Yep, my baby sweats in her sleep too. Come to think of it, one of my nephews is a major sweater. With mine, it's to the point that if I wash her hair, I blow dry it before bed, because if I don't, it wouldn't get dry at all before morning. Ick. I hope this passes. I'm ok with diapers and spit up, but not a fan of anyone's sweat. Weird aversion, I know. |

| Yes. My four year old leaves sweaty head rings on her pillow too. |

| Yep, my almost three year old sweats profusely from head when he sleeps, particularly if his head is up against a pillow. Dr. said not to worry about it, but I still at every appt! |

| Yep. 16 mo DD woke up from her nap today looking like she'd stepped out of the shower. She also sweats like crazy in her car seat. |

| My son (now 20 months) sweats like this too, but what's weird is that it's only at naptime. His sheet has a large wet circle and his hair is all wet. But, when he wakes in the AM, he's not sweaty at all. |

| Op Here: GReat to know it is seemingly normal! Like I said, it seems to have always been that way, but if he is hotter than usual (like today when he napped), it's so prominent and gross. |

| my three year old does this too, seems better now actually that he's older. |

| I read one time that most people loose about a quart of sweat a night. Part of the reason we have a waterproof cover on our mattress. |

Not only does my DS (2 1/2) sweat in his sleep, but now he is sweating after going outside. The worst is that I also can smell BO. And, it's not a sweet smell 
Anyone else notice this? |
