Hi
Welcome to HCM

In my opinion , if your child doesn't have Galactosemia or Lactose intolerance, then you should continue exclusive breastfeeding feeding for your child till 6 months.
Some babies sweat profusely during the deepest part of their nightly sleep cycle and end up soaking wet. Because babies spend much more time in this deepest stage of sleep, they're more likely to sweat during the night than adults or even older children.

Sweating is very common, but excessive sweating could mean that something isn't right. Excessive sweating – especially when eating – can be a sign of congenital heart disease, for example, as well as various infections and sleep apnea.

Overheating is a risk factor for SIDS. The room your baby sleeps in should be warm – 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit – not hot.

Dress your baby in the amount of clothing that you'd be comfortable sleeping in without covers. Resist the urge to bundle her up, and keep blankets, quilts, and comforters out of her crib.

As a rule of thumb, remember that if you're too hot, your baby probably is too. If the house is cool and your baby is dressed lightly and still sweating, talk with her doctor.
