	Answer by Dr. Pankaj Khater (doctor) on Sat 01, Aug 2009 03:52am: Children that young are not able to tell us when they are uncomfortable and too hot, and so often times we do not know until we see that they are sweating. Another common reason is because they are sick, and so they may have a fever that is causing the sweating. Please consult your doc if it persists. Good luck.
