Not all cases of babies sweating at night are signs of a lack of calcium. If the child is sweating profused and accompanied by other abnormal manifestations, the mother should take the child to see a doctor to see if the child is really lacking calcium.

Young children, especially babies, often sweat more at night than adults, which is caused by poor temperature-regulating systems. Besides, the percentage of sweat glands compared to the size of the child's body is also quite high, causing the child to sweat a lot.

Here are some causes of burglary sweating in a child:

In babies and young children, metabolism is stronger than in adults, so they often sweat more. If the child is irritated by some cause, his body will self-control the temperature by sweating a lot. In addition, it is also easier for the child to sweat if the ambient temperature rises.

Psychological sweating usually appears in the head and neck area about 30 minutes before the child falls asleep and fades after about 60 minutes. Therefore, parents should not be too worried with this case, because it does not affect the health of the child.

When children are sweating at night with the following signs, parents should take them to hospitals and medical facilities to be examined to determine if the child is lacking calcium, thereby having appropriate additional methods:

Nighttime fussiness, insomnia or poor sleep:

One of the signs of a child with calcium deficiency is startle, much fuss and night sweating. Children can suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and cry constantly.

Coronary hair loss:

Calcium deficiency can make children more prone to sweating and hair loss, especially the back end, where they come into contact with the pillow. Despite this, coronary hair loss is not necessarily a sign of calcium deficiency.

Other signs when the child is deprived of calcium:

In addition to the above early signs, children with long-term calcium deficiency can cause the following signs:

• Rickets;
• Slow down;
• Flattened head;
• Slow teething;
• Delayed development of motor skills such as cows, levers, walking.

Calcium deficiency in a child can cause night-time burglary sweating. However, for an accurate diagnosis, the child needs to be examined by a doctor, or even tested.
