Moms with babies who sweat a lot when they sleep

Do you do anything to help them with it at night? I'm afraid if I put dd in something lighter then the little pajamas she will be too cold. Everytime she wakes up she is sweating.

I just continue doing what I'm doing. I'd rather them wake up sweaty than catch a cold because neither of them like sleeping with blankets.

Rylan is a major sweater...he wears a short sleave onesies every night...nothing else. I do put a blanket on his butt/legs(I know I know i'm not supposed to)

ETA...if its chilly them he wears regular pj's but the above is the norm in the last few weaks.

DS had a few nights where he was having night sweats. The pediatrician told me not to worry and to dress him lighter. He also said to make sure the thermostat is kept no higher than 68. So now, DS just sleeps in a onesie and a pair of socks (to keep his feet warm). Before, I had him in a onesie and a sleeper or a gown on top. Now he sweats a lot less!
