A member asked:
I have a 6 month old baby boy he has a very hot head at times and sweats a lot. is it normal to have a very hot head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably ok: This is probably ok. It is summertime and hot in most areas of the US now. Be sure and dress him lightly, just a onsie. Check for temperature with a rectal thermometer, if it is over 99.4 undress him completely and recheck it. Sometimes babies just get a bit warm. Anything above 100.4 and you need to let your pediatrician know.
