Really Warm-Blooded

Baby C’s body is always hot and she sweats really easily. When she was a newborn, I used to put on long-sleeved rompers for her at night but now, I have to let her wear short-sleeved t-shirts with holes and long pants with holes  at night…. and she sleeps in an air-conditioned room with the temperature set to the lowest at 20 degrees Celsius! The ceiling fan also has to be switched on for at least a couple of hours to cool her body down before I switch it off each night. Even with such a low temperature in the room, she still sweats profusely, especially on her head as she has such thick hair. I wonder if there’s anything wrong with her body or is this condition caused by her kidney reflux. I don’t remember this happening to Alycia or Sherilyn when they were a baby. I’ve asked our doctor and she said there’s nothing to worry about as some babies have very high metabolic rate.

I guess Baby C takes after me as my body is also hot all the time. Anyone who touches my hands would be alarmed that they are really hot and would think that I am running a fever. When I was in Australia, I can even wear just a t-shirt under a sweater during winter without the need to turn on the Oliefyr or wear layers of thermal wear. I guess that’s just how my body is… I am just a very warm-blooded and warm person!

  1. When Belle was an infant, she would sweat every night and her pillow would be soaked in her sweat. Our pediatrician told us it is normal too.
