I have seen Lelani sweat also. It's actually cute! I am the last to question current guidelines. Mine was prem and she was permenatly "over-dressed" I was so afraid that she would lose weight, because her unhandy mother did not keep her warm enough. But she is her daddy's daugher and heats up very quickly. But beside the point.
I don't know his history and are not his mother, but maybe it is time to step back. Maybe you need to re-think your situation and his routine and his feeds and EVERYTHING. Maybe there is something that bothers him that you are missing, because you are focused on him not sleeping. Could be anything under the sun. How is he sleeping during the day? He's not on owl-mode? (Sleeping in the day and playing at night) Getting that right is a whole other storie (or so I hear - luck not to have happend to me) Yeez, it sounds like I am a know-it-all. I am a first mom also and are the last person to ask, but it's just my opinion.
