In children up to one year, the hands and feet sweat due to unstable heat exchange. Therefore, if the baby is comfortable and he feels well, does not be naughty and does not show any concern, then parents should not be particularly worried.
Children from one to two years old
If sweating tortures the baby at the age of one to two years, then the real cause is rickets, so parents need to pay special attention to this. Usually, with time, when the baby becomes older, parents are not so anxious about the development of rickets. But in vain, because at this very moment the disease can begin its rapid development, and the sweating of the child's limbs is its first signal. Therefore it is very important, regardless of how the kid feels, to prevent this disease before the child is 5 years old.
If the child has a severe sweating of the hands or feet, you must start giving him vitamin D. But before that, the baby should be shown to the pediatrician, since it is impossible to prescribe the dose of the vitamin alone.
