Not particularly: An infants head represents 25% of their total body surface area and half their usual site of heat loss. This declines to 10% in adults. A kid normally regulated their body temperature by loosing heat there. Sweating hair usually just means they are over dressed a bit. If he has other signs like poor or prolonged feeding, lack of activity, lack of smiles he might be ill.

Mgt: Please check his temperature and if this occurs with exertion or feeds, a pulse oximetry test and cardiac examination may be indicated.
