Does anyone else's LOs sweat a lot while sleeping?
LO1 sweat a lot when he was little like my arm would be drenched in sweat while holding him... as he has gotten older he has gotten better.
LO2 is almost the same way but I think it is worst!
Such sweaty sleepers. Like little personal heaters.
I am kind of curious if my LOs are the only ones like this?!?
Do your LOs sweat when they sleep? How much and what sex?

@snowjewelz: Steam come out of her head! That's hot! Hehe.
Mine look like they took a bath when they wake up because their hair is so wet with sweat. Haha.

@Raindrop: Ok fine not actual steam but like I can FEEL the heat coming from the top of her head and the invisible steam makes ME sweaty lol!

@Raindrop: one of mine looks like that after her naps! She insists on burying into her comforter, so I started putting her down in her underwear with the fan on, and she seems way more comfortable.

@snowjewelz: @rattles: Btw I had a small theory that girls didn't sweat as much as boys!! Which is why I separated out the sexes. I was holding a friends baby girl the other day and she wasn't sweaty at all! Haha. But you two definitely blew that out of the water.

My 3.5 year old actually told us she "likes to be sweaty when she is sleeping" and has always asked for extra blankets since she started being allowed to have them in bed. Little weirdo, I can't stand being sweaty!

My LO only sweats while sleeping in my arms. All other sleeping ( RnP or bouncer), he never sweats, even though he's in longsleeved pjs and a swaddle and the temp is 72-75.

DS is 18 months, and has always been warm. Now he sleeps in a shirt but no pants, and a thin sleepsack. He used to wake up sopping wet, like he just got out of the bathtub (wet hair too!) when we wore pajamas under his sleep sack....now that we switched to no-pants, he is totally fine!

Both my girls run hot like daddy. Imo if they're sweating while sleeping that means they have too much clothes on or it's too hot in the house.
But when I'm holding them? Yes definitely sweaty.

My son was SO HOT AND SWEATY as an infant. He runs hot and sweaty like his father. HATED swaddling, being worn, and would scream bloody murder in anything fleece. He's gotten better as he's gotten older but we still pretty much keep him in breathable cotton at all times, although he gets a fleece sleepsack at night when it's chillier. I think he runs hot like DH but has a narrow window of temperature sensitivity like me, so we keep the house at like 72 degrees all the time.

My boy sweats SO much while he's sleeping. Well, he sweats a lot all the time. But he wakes up drenched from naps and in the morning and when I cuddle him his head is all sweaty on my face 
he's always run super hot, has never tolerated a fleece sleeper or a sleep sack.
My girl doesn't sweat at all and is fine wearing a warm sleeper and a sleep sack.

Yes! He always sweated all over me when I nursed him or held him while sleeping. He would wake up all clammy with sweaty hair. He sleeps in his crib now and doesn't wake up sweaty unless I use the space heater, which we won't be needing now that it's spring.

My daughter sweats a ton when she's sleeping, especially when being worn, and also has constantly sweaty feet. She was in the hospital at 4 months old, and needed an iv. I warned the nurses that they were going to have a hard time getting tape to stick to her foot. They didn't believe me until they had to tape up her entire little foot to get it to stick put.

Wow I'm glad to hear that sweating while sleeping seems pretty normal!
I will say that we keep our house at 76 degrees.
