postpartum night sweating?

Postpartum sweating, especially at night, is quite common during the postpartum period. It is the body's natural way of eliminating excess fluid and edema accumulated during pregnancy. Additionally, the rapid drop in postpartum hormone levels (particularly estrogen) can trigger these sweats.
It is usually most intense in the first few weeks after birth and passes on its own. Choosing cotton, light clothing and keeping the room temperature cool can be soothing.
But if sweating is accompanied by fever (38°C or higher), chills, foul-smelling discharge, or redness/firmness in the breast, this could be a sign of infection (such as uterine inflammation or mastitis). You should consult a gynecologist immediately.
