Why is my baby sweating while sleeping?
Manage sleep sweat safely
Prevent overheating with cooler room temps and breathable layers; head sweat can be normal.
Cooler room + breathable toy—no more sweaty wakeups.
Babies regulate heat differently from adults, and a little head sweat during sleep can be normal. Focus on preventing overheating: keep the room comfortably cool, dress in breathable layers, and use lightweight, breathable sleep friends (like Raffy’s cotton cover). If baby feels hot to the touch, simplify layers and bring the room temperature down slightly.
Try tonight
- Check baby’s neck/back for heat rather than hands/feet.
- Lower room temperature slightly and improve airflow.
- Choose breathable fabrics and Raffy’s cotton cover—not heavy blankets.

Wonderful routine! ★★★★★
I’ve seen first-hand how Riff Raff switches little bubs from unsettled to calm and sleeping. It’s a sensible settling purchase for day and night—once the lullaby starts, the bedtime battle is half won. Affordable, well-made, and an instant part of our routine.

riff raff ★★★★★
We bought Clover when our daughter was about a month old. Through regressions and unsettled moments, her “teddy” and the white noise/lullaby have calmed her every time—the softness and soothing sound are hands-down the best invention!

No longer sleep deprived 😍 ★★★★★
We were skeptical, but Raffy transformed naps and nights. He soothed fussy feeds, eased the bassinet-to-cot transition, and now our daughter sleeps 10–11 hours. We’d be lost (and sleep-deprived) without him—best purchase!
