Head heating
Is there a reason for the baby's head getting heated at night? The room temperature is between 25-26c and she's dressed in a tee and pant. We don't swaddle her anymore. Sometimes the back of the head gets sweaty due to heat and there's hair fall.
How can I prevent this from happening?

Assuming that the child had no other problems and sucks well ..sweating and the head being warmer is normal.
