sweating when sleeping?

Does your lo get kinda hot and sweat when they sleep?

Yes. My LO gets overheated very easily and has sweat big spots through his pj's before.  Because of this - and because overheating is very dangerous and a SIDS risk - we dress him pretty lightly at night: long sleeve cotton onesie, socks with no pants, and a light cotton muslin blanket that we swaddle him in with his arms out.  We also have a fan in the room to keep air moving, and keep the thermostat on 67 degrees at night.  Often my husband and I are freezing, and the baby is warm.  Keep an eye on your LO and stick to cotton especially at night - no fleece if you have a hot baby.

Yes, my lo has woken up many of times with his outfit & sheets wet.  I thought he had wet himself but it ended up just being sweat.  I agree with the PP and just dress him really lightly in cotton and keep a fan on the low setting in his room.

I always find that DD sweats when she is napping on me, but at night time she usually has on a long sleeve sleeper  and a halo sleep sack and her little hands still get cold sometimes lol
