My 6 mo old baby girl sweats like carzy but only on her head.Her hands and legs feel cold but she is dripping wet on her hair every time she sleeps and I am so confused whether to cover her or not!
Is this normal?

My baby is exactly like that. She's one now, and she still wakes up with a wet head. It happens when she's covered and it happens when she's not. I don't think its anything to worry about. I've taken her temp plenty of times and it's always normal...so whatever. You and I just have sweaty kids LOL.

She should NEVER have a blanket, regardless of how cold she is. She just needs more layers if she's cold. If she's in a onesie and a sleeper, she's fine. As it gets cold outside, switch her to the fleece sleeper. She's fine. Chances are she's drooling on her hands, which could make them cool. Her feet and legs should be covered while she sleeps if you put her in a sleeper, so she's fine. If you're not overheated, then she's not likely to be, either. A lot of people are sweaty sleepers, especially kids. They don't really sweat from their armpits too much, so there's only one place for them to get rid of it!

some kids are just sweaty!! Get a sheet protector so she can sweat into it instead. Maybe she would like a little fan in her room?

This sounds normal. The head is the hottest part of the body, and that's where most of the heat escapes from. If you are concerned, ask your pediatrician.
