For toddlers and babies

With a baby and a toddler, the sweaty feet are similar to those of older children. Here too, they are mostly due to the fact that, seen in relation to their size, there are many more sweat glands on the small feet than, for example, in an adult. This alone means that a baby, as well as a toddler, produces more sweat on the feet.

This sweat is then decomposed by certain bacteria and may smell unpleasant. It is therefore important to wash and dry sweaty feet regularly and to use cotton socks. Normally, the situation is relatively easy to handle with the measures mentioned above. However, if the sweaty feet are very pronounced, a clarification of the problem at the pediatrician can help.
