A quick visit to GP or child health nurse and they can reassure you if there is a problem.

I would see a doctor and if it’s just excessive sweat glands (hyperhydrosis), then it becomes more of a how to deal with it issue, rather than something to worry about.

I have seen that botox works small needles into the hands but as your son is so young they probably wont do anything

I would talk to your gp or child health nurse. Also I would have sure he didn’t have anything on his feet as this heats you as put him in cotton clothes

Both my kids sweated a LOT as babies, just on their heads, mostly when they were feeding or sleeping. They grew out of it way before the age of 3 though. If you’re really worried I’d ask your doctor about it.
