Take a few layers of cloths off and see if that helps. Sounds like he is too warm.

No.
seriously? if you're worried about your baby your first source of advice should be a medical professional, not online where you have no idea who is giving you advice, your baby's more important than that isn't he?
give your baby 1 small spoon (tsp 5ml) of calpol (or equivalent infant paracetomol suspension) and call the doctor/midwife/health visitor immediately.
how many clothes is the baby wearing, remove some, if your house is warm maybe even just leave him in nappy, or nappy and vest
how do you know he doesn't have a fever? the main symptons of having a fever are being hot and sweating.
are there any other symptons? post details after you've called the doctor
also give lots of drink, if he doesn't want milk, give him a bottle of boiled water (wait for it to cool down to a temperature that's comfortable on your wrist obviously - run the bottle under the cold tap to speed this up)

Hi there,
Excessive sweating is a clinical condition where parts of the body are sweating beyond what the body needs.
It is commonly an inherited condition and can affect those who suffer from it on a social, functional, and emotional level.
Heavy sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) is a very real and embarrassing problem, but there are some effective ways to treat it.

So your daughter just turned into a little drool monster, huh? No worries! You may have noticed that very young babies (< 2 mos.) don't drool. That's because saliva production doesn't start to ramp up until after 2 months. This prepares them to start eating solid foods sometime between 4 and 6 months. Teething, which it sounds like your daughter is doing, doesn't directly cause the drooling, but it does exacerbate it. As your baby approaches 4 months, you may notice that she spits up more often than before. This is normal - the additional saliva causes this. It will subside after she loses her tongue thrust reflex and starts eating solid foods. The sweating is probably just your daughter regulating her body temp just like we all do. I don't think it's related to the teething. As long as she doesn't have a fever, a little sweating is no cause for concern.

If it's not down to a fever then make sure you're not overheating him - they say an ideal nursery temperature is about 18 degrees which actually feels fairly cold to most people, and as a rule he needs one more layer of clothing than you are comfortable in. If that's all fine then it may well just be normal for him and is probably nothing to worry about. You'll just have to work that much harder at making sure to keep his creases clean and dry, as if he's prone to sweating he could easily develop a rash.

As I'm sure you know, every baby is different and if you're sure he doesn't have a fever maybe he's just like that. Have you got a a room thermometer? Perhaps you could put him to sleep in a Grobag sleeping bag rather than under blankets because as their arms are free, they self-regulate their heat (plus you get a little free room thermometer with them). The website is www.grobag.com. 15 - 20 degrees C is the recognised temperature for your baby to sleep in. My daughter used these right up till she was 3 and they're great!

My daughter is 5 months old and has been that way since birth. I just try not to over dress her. I get a lot of dirty looks when I take her out but I would rather have her comfortable than dehydrated or sick from sweating so much.

Some babies are different. What do you usually dress him in? Try having just one layer of clothes on him and not to wrap him in a big blanket. My 3 year old was like that and still is when she was a baby. But yes it is normal in some babies as well as children!! =) Hope this helps!!

Not a stupid question. How are you supposed to know the answer if you don't ask? Isn't that the point of this forum?
Some babies are just sweaty. I had one of three, you would give him a bath and he would be clamy immediately. He is still very affectionately called, 'Stinky'. Just be sure he is not getting to warm. Are you still swaddling him? Make sure there are not too many layers. The best advice I got on the appropriate amount of clothing was to dress them in the same thing you are comfortable in.

My 3 month old is the same way. I only put him in a long sleeve onesie and thin pants. He has been this way since birth. I can bathe him and put lotion on him and within a few minutes he is already sweaty. The Dr. told me there is nothing to worry about, some babies and children are just "sweaters". It's normal for parents to worry about their children.

Are you over-dressing your baby?
My children were very hot babies my mothers insisted on putting on undershirts, sleepers, a sweater AND a blanket. This was way too much for my little hot-boxes.
Even in the dead of winter, I'd put them in their carriers (in just a sleeper) and throw a blanket over the whole thing or use my carrier cover and they would still come out sweaty at the back of their necks (I live in Winnipeg, Canada BTW).
If you have a hot baby, don't over-dress him. Just a sleeper in the house is all he needs.
