really sweaty baby?

L L CG

We just drove from downtown to my home in SW Austin and DD fell asleep.  When I brought her in from the car her cheeks were bright red.  She woke up a few minutes later and the carseat cover was actually soaked from her sweat.  I felt her forehead and the rest of her body and it wasn't overly hot.  Now that she's awake it looks like she isn't as sweaty.  The A/C works just fine in my car.  It alarmed be because of the amount of sweat that was on her head and the carseat cover and I gave her a significant amount of avocado to eat this morning for the first time.  Does this sound normal to you?

My babies were very sweaty last summer.  As long as she's acting okay now, I wouldn't worry.  Do you have rear AC?

Totally normal.  Vivian gets SUPER hot in her car seat.  I've picked her up out of her seat before and had to change her outfit because it's soaking wet.  I think the air doesn't get around the sides of the car seats very well, so they end up getting really warm.  Plus, V is a little heat machine anyway.

My kids always get sweaty RFing too.  Do you have rear-AC? We don't in our car and it sucks.  But as long as she is acting normal, I wouldn't worry.  Maybe give her some water in a sippy cup or nurse her?

I'm confused about the avocado part.... ?

This. G gets pretty sweaty back there. Do you have a sun shade on the window? Maybe she was in the direct light and that caused her to get a little more sweaty than normal.

to me Texas = hot sweaty babies in car seats.

i don't think she was having a reaction to the avocado
