My 6 month old son's head sweats a lot when he sleeps and its been like that for months now. what could that be about?

Many possiblities: Make sure the room isn't too warm. Make sure he isn't over dressed. Or, he might just be someone who sweats easily. In any case, if he's comfortable, eating and growing well, and he wakes up rested, he's probably ok. If he's cranky, not eating or growing well, or in any other way unwell, see your pediatrician.
