Baby sleeping sweating

Introduction Sweat is secreted by the sweat glands. Sweating is an important function of human skin to regulate body temperature. The amount of sweat secreted by the sweat glands is related to the development of sweat glands and the level of autonomic nerve excitability. Because children are in a rapid period of growth and development, metabolism is the most vigorous, and lively and active, sweating is often more than adults, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. When I go to sleep at night, because the sympathetic nerves are still in an excited state, there is often sweating. After entering the deep sleep stage, the sympathetic nerves are inhibited, and the amount of sweating gradually decreases in the latter half of the night. This is also a normal physiological phenomenon.
