What should I do if my baby has no hair?

Many babies are put in one position to sleep after they are born, especially when they are young and cannot turn over. Therefore, it is easy to cause the baby to have no hair if they always sleep in one position. This is a problem that will be discovered slowly. Some babies will keep sucking their fingers when they sleep, and even make trouble in their dreams. So what is the reason for this?

The baldness on the baby's head is called "occipital baldness". In the early stages of calcium deficiency, the child sweats excessively on the head during feeding and sleeping. Excessive sweating causes local irritation, so the child likes to shake his head. When you shake your head, the back of your head is rubbed, which causes hair loss over time. In addition, the child is restless and easily awakened during sleep.

If your baby makes a rumbling sound in his throat during sleep at night, it is called "laryngitis" and is also a sign of calcium deficiency.

Premature babies should start taking calcium supplements 2 weeks after birth, while full-term babies should start taking calcium supplements after one month. It is recommended to continue taking calcium supplements until the age of 2 or 3 years.

There is also the problem of absorption when supplementing calcium. No matter how much you take, it will be useless if it is not absorbed. At the same time, supplementing AD (cod liver oil) can help calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Getting more sun exposure will also help calcium absorption. Be sure to go outdoors and not through glass, because ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass.

In addition, the imperfection of the infant's gastrointestinal system will also affect absorption. It is recommended to supplement some beneficial intestinal bacteria while supplementing calcium, such as Mami Love, Biostime, etc. (don't worry, beneficial bacteria are not medicine, the more the better). The imperfection of the gastrointestinal system is also the root cause of childhood eczema. Therefore, for most children's diseases, improving the gastrointestinal tract is the key.

The most common calcium supplements are "Golden Cudgel L-Lactate Calcium Granules" and "Aier Calcium Granules". You can take cod liver oil in the form of "Beteling" or "Icoxin". I recommend "Ikoxin", which has a peanut oil fragrance and babies like it more, while "Beteling" has a fishy taste. You can take no more than one capsule of cod liver oil per day; taking more will cause poisoning.

Regarding the phenomenon that babies have no hair in a circle, mothers are advised to try not to let their children stay in the same posture when they sleep, as this can easily cause baldness in their children. However, these are symptoms of young babies and will get better as the children grow up.
