What should I do if my baby has thin hair?

Many babies have sparse hair after birth, and the hair grows slowly. Parents are usually anxious when they know their babies have such problems, and they will try some folk remedies, but they don’t have very good effects, and instead affect the physical development of the children. Therefore, for babies with weak bodies, you cannot try medical treatment or take medicine indiscriminately. Let’s take a look at what to do if your baby has sparse hair?

Wash your baby's hair frequently. Many parents think that their baby’s hair is sparse and they dare not wash their hair for fear of further hair loss. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Babies should wash their hair frequently to keep their scalp clean and prevent sweat and dirt from clogging the pores of the scalp and affecting hair growth. It is normal to lose hair while washing your hair, it is nothing but the natural process of hair falling out.

When washing your baby's hair, use good quality children's shampoo that is mild in nature. If the weather is cold and the temperature at home is not high enough, you should go to a special bathing area to bathe your baby and wash his hair to prevent your baby from catching a cold.

Comb your baby's hair frequently. Combing your baby's hair every day can promote blood circulation in the baby's head and help the baby's hair grow quickly. When combing your baby's hair, choose a soft rubber comb that will not damage your baby's scalp and hair. When combing your baby's hair, follow the natural growth direction of the hair and do not comb it randomly.

Let your baby get more sun. If the sun is not too strong, letting your baby bask in the sun for half an hour every day is very helpful for the healthy growth of your baby's hair. The sun's ultraviolet rays have a strong bactericidal effect and can kill harmful bacteria on the baby's scalp to promote the healthy growth of your baby's hair.

Enhance nutrition for your baby. If a baby has very sparse hair, he or she is often calcium deficient. Some babies may have baldness on the back of the head, which is normal. You should feed your baby more green leafy vegetables, soy milk, millet porridge, etc., and supplement them with various vitamins to ensure that your baby's hair has adequate nutrition supply.

The above are the specific treatment methods for babies with sparse hair. It is recommended that parents comb their baby's hair regularly to promote blood circulation in the baby's scalp, which is conducive to hair growth. Secondly, you should supplement the baby with nutrition, especially calcium. Lack of calcium is more likely to lead to symptoms of thinning hair.
