Baby's hair on the back of the head is worn off

When a baby is just born, he or she has hair, although it is a thin layer, but we can still see it. But soon after birth, the hair on the back of the baby's head was rubbed off when the baby was sleeping and in contact with the pillow. It looks like there is a bald spot, which is very ugly. In fact, parents can find a solution to the problem of baby’s hair on the back of the head being worn away.

It is normal if the hair on the back of the baby's head is worn away during infancy. Since children mostly sleep lying down during infancy, the head is most likely to be active. The contact and friction between the back of the head and the pillow will indeed reduce a certain amount of hair. If the baby sweats frequently, the hair follicles will be blocked. Once the hair follicles are blocked, the hair will grow very slowly. However, this situation will generally improve after the baby learns to walk.

What should I do if my baby has thinning hair on the back of his head?

1. Wash your baby’s hair frequently

During the early childhood, babies seldom go out and usually sleep at home. Babies grow and develop very fast, and naturally due to a faster metabolism, some oil and sweat will be secreted. If you don’t wash your hair frequently, these secretions will clog the hair follicles and even cause infection, which will not only make the baby’s hair on the back of the head sparse, but also directly affect the baby’s hair follicles.

2. Comb your baby’s hair frequently

Combing the baby's hair frequently can activate the blood circulation of the cerebral cortex and promote its metabolism. Because the baby's hair is sparse, it is best to comb the baby's hair frequently, once in the morning and once in the evening. However, it should be noted that it is best to use a special comb for the baby.

3. Take your baby out to bask in the sun more often

The weather is quite hot in summer and the direct sunlight is quite strong. Many parents are reluctant to take their babies out. It is best to take the baby out in the morning or evening to bask in the sun. The sunlight on the baby's head can promote blood circulation in the baby's scalp, and can also make calcium absorbed by the body faster, thereby making the hair grow faster. However, be careful to avoid sunburning your baby when basking in the sun.

Babies need enough sleep to develop normally. If they don’t get enough sleep, it will not only affect the growth of their hair, but more importantly, it will affect the baby’s later development, causing the baby to have low immunity and loss of appetite. Lack of adequate sleep will naturally affect the growth of your baby's hair.

If the baby's hair on the back of the head is rubbed, it is generally not a big problem. If it is due to calcium deficiency or vitamin deficiency, it is better to improve it as soon as possible. In addition, when your baby is sleeping, be careful to minimize the movement of his head.
