REMEDIES FOR SWEATY AND COLD BABY FEET
I noticed Chim's
feet and hands are always sweaty and cold and started to worry about it. Her
pedia assured me this is normal for babies, as they are less active hence their
body temperature is not properly regulated. Such condition is medically known
as HYPERHIDROSIS and it is characterized by excessive sweating even
when the temperature is not hot and you are inactive. It usually occurs in the
palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Babies would later outgrow
this as they become more mobile.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
1. Wear the right clothes. One probable cause of excessive sweating is
overdressing. So make sure that your baby wears just the right clothing.
2. Watch your diet. The food you eat may play a role why your
baby is over sweating, especially when you are breastfeeding. Avoid salty foods.
Eat leafy vegetables. Hydrate yourself. For your baby's diet, make sure that
his/ her food is not rich in sodium.
3. Wear SOCKS. Good absorbent socks would help reduce the
sweating.
4. Soak feet in vinegar. The vinegar would help in regulating the
sweat glands.
Following these
remedies, I notice a big change in Chim’s palms and soles.
