Overheating Baby

Taylor

Please help with advice!

Our 6 week old gets really hot really fast. I’m wondering if this is something I should be worried about! He gets fussy when he’s trying to pass gas. He will cry really hard. When he gets upset like this he trashed his whole body around and screams. He gets all worked up and cries long after he passes gas.

When he’s crying like this he gets really hot. Like hot to the touch. His temperature has even spiked to 100.3 during these times. I’ll take all his clothes off and keep the room cooler to cool him down. The temperature never lasts after he calms down and gets cool.

He also gets really hot while I’m breast feeding. If my skin is touching his, he will heat up really fast.

Should I be worried? Does this happen to anyone else?
