My baby sweats a lot while nursing; am I positioning him wrong or wrapping him too much?

Your baby sweating while nursing is usually from natural skin-to-skin contact with you. Because babies' body temperature regulation systems are still developing, they can get warm easily when close to you.
The most common cause is overdressing. Dress your baby in layers appropriate to room temperature and nursing is enough. Also position your baby's head and neck so they get air flow. If you also feel hot, checking the room temperature is a good idea. Check the back of baby's neck — if it's warm and damp, he's overdressed.
Positioning mistakes usually cause gas or latch problems rather than sweating. If it's just sweating and the baby is content and gaining weight well, there's no need to worry.
