Sweaty hands and feet 4 month old

VanessaB24

Hi all,
My daughter is 4 months old and probably since she was 2 months she's had sweaty hands and feet, I even found her one morning in her crib with a wet spot by her feet. Anyway I understand if she has clothes on she will sweat, it's summer... But she's actually just in a diaper right now in our air conditioned house and she has sweaty feet. Anyone else's baby doing this? My first daughter never had this happen. I did ask her doctor but he didn't think anything of it. I'm not worried in just curious if anyone has the same thing going on. Thanks

My LO seems to have moist hands but I think that's from him putting his hand in his mouth and closing his hand.

She might have hyperhidrosis. It's basically overactive sweat glands. I have it and my son has had it since he was a baby too. I believe hands and feet are usually the most commons places to sweat extra if you have it. I would ask the doctor about it at your next check-up, but I wouldn't worry at all. I do nothing to treat mine, it is just sometimes embarrassing if I am shaking someone's hand.

Yup sweaty hands and feet. dS1 went through it as well.

we had the same problem with both kids. DD1 is now 2 and still has that problem. DD2 started about a month ago. I asked our Pedi and she said it was completely normal and many babies sweat on their hands, feet, and head, especially when they are falling asleep
