My son always seems to get so sweaty! Since he gets so hot I usually just keep him in onsies..for nighttime he only sleeps swaddled so I swaddle him and he is in a onsie. I don't put any other blankets over his swaddle and its just a receiving blanket so its pretty airy. I turn the fan on and our air is always on,about 71. I sleep in pj pants and a tshirt or tank and underneath a sheet and thick comforter. Everytime he wakes up in the night he is drenched in sweat. It doesn't seem to bother him...I don't understand how he gets so hot I'm always so cold at night...
Sooo..what would you do? I have to keep him swaddled or he wouldn't sleep. Should I just let him get really sweaty like that? Have him naked? Make it colder in the house?
Re: Sweaty Baby??
My baby gets sweaty sometimes too.. do you have the Aden & Anais swaddlers? they are really airy/cool I usually swaddle her up in those if we don't have our air conditioner on and it is warmer.

Mine was sweaty too... We were swaddling the same way.
We put a fan in the room (not blowing directly on her) and I just swaddle her naked (with a diaper). It really made a difference. I think in the summer it is just too hot to layer under the swaddle.
During the day she pretty much hangs out in a onesie and sometimes has socks on. She is still a sweaty mess... I keep the house around 72 during the day and 75 at night. Sweaty babies in the summer is pretty much the norm.
