Why is the baby hairless?

If a baby is born in the family, the family will definitely be very happy. They will observe the changes in the child every day and hope that the child can grow up as soon as possible. Some children have no physical abnormalities and are healthy, but they have no hair or very sparse hair, which makes their parents worry about the impact it will have on their future. So, what is the reason for babies having no hair? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

The amount of hair a newborn is born with is mostly due to genetic factors. Some babies have very sparse hair. In this case, parents should not be anxious. It takes half a year of observation to draw a conclusion. If the baby's hair has not grown thicker after half a year, please go to the dermatology department of the hospital to check whether the scalp is infected.

Another possibility is that the baby lacks zinc, or the baby is malnourished, has a poor physical condition, or is poorly developed. These are all related, so parents must carefully observe the baby's movements and observe the baby's mental state every day to see if it is good. If the baby is listless and always sleeping, then parents need to take the baby to see a doctor.

To improve the thinning hair of newborns, mothers should wash and comb the baby's hair frequently. Don't think that you should stop washing the baby's hair because the hair is thin, for fear that the more you wash, the more hair will fall out. In fact, this is not the case. The hair that falls out due to metabolism is inevitable, so it has nothing to do with washing the hair. You should also use a special wooden comb for babies when combing the hair, and comb slowly to avoid scratching the hair.

The above is an introduction to why babies have no hair. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many factors that lead to thinning hair in children. When this situation is discovered, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, especially for children whose condition persists for a long time. It is necessary to pay attention to it and take active measures to improve it to avoid more serious effects on the children.
