One-year-old baby has thinning hair. Do you know what causes this?

Some parents find that their baby's hair is obviously thinner. This requires attention. There are many reasons for the baby's thinning hair. It may be caused by genetic factors, calcium deficiency, or disease factors.

1. Genetic factors: This is one of the main reasons for the baby's thin hair. Studies have found that if the parents have better hair, the baby's hair quality will also be relatively better, and vice versa.

2. Hair loss: Experts believe that some babies will have a small amount of hair loss after 6 months of birth due to physiological factors. In fact, this is also a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents do not need to put too much psychological pressure on themselves.

3. Milk alopecia: At the beginning, the ends of the baby's hair may turn a little yellow, but the situation will improve after the yellow hair falls out. It should be said that this is a normal manifestation of metabolism, so expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

4. Calcium deficiency: Many people believe that calcium deficiency in babies will affect the development of their bones. In fact, if the baby's calcium deficiency is too serious, it will cause the baby's hair to develop poorly, turn yellow, or even disappear. Furthermore, insufficient nutrients such as zinc and protein will affect the development of the baby's hair. Therefore, mothers are advised to choose appropriate nutrients under the advice of a doctor. Clinically, it is believed that the deficiency of certain elements in babies is one of the fundamental causes of hair loss in babies, so babies can pay a little attention to this issue in daily life.

5. Pillow baldness: After the pillow contacts or rubs against the baby's scalp, the pillow area will be more prone to hair loss problems.

6. Individual differences: It should be said that this is the same as everyone’s physical health condition. Every baby will have his or her own individual differences.

7. Certain diseases: It should be said that clinically some diseases have been found to affect the development of baby's hair. However, if the baby's hair development is affected by the disease, it can usually be reflected through some symptoms, so expectant mothers do not have to have too much psychological pressure.
