If the baby feels hot, she starts to sweat in her head. Also, babies do not toss and turn when they are sleeping, and this may be another reason for head sweats. The constant head position will produce more heat and cause sweat.
Monitor room temperature in hot climate, dress baby in comfortable night clothing, Don't let baby sleep empty stomach.
Sweating at night uncommonly may be a sign of cardiovascular or neurologic problems. If above measures don't help, consult your doctor
