What should I do if my baby has less and yellow hair?

Parents pay special attention to their baby's health. So when their baby has thin and yellow hair, they think their baby's hair is unhealthy. So many parents want to fully understand what to do if their baby has thin and yellow hair? The following article introduces this knowledge in detail for many parents, and you can learn about it as soon as possible.

First of all, it may be because the baby's lanugo is in the replacement period. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and often occurs in newborn babies. Except for the sparse hair, the baby's feeding and activities are the same as other healthy babies.

In addition, calcium deficiency may also cause hair loss. In this case, the baby will generally experience excessive sweating, restless sleep, changes in blood test indicators, etc. Zinc deficiency, anemia and malnutrition can also cause slow hair growth in babies.

Therefore, if your baby has "childhood baldness", it is recommended to observe him in the early stages and only consider whether it is due to nutritional deficiencies after 6 months.

If the doctor assesses the baby's overall growth and development and nutritional status and finds no other problems, there is no need to take any measures, because babies with "childhood baldness" will generally have more hair around the age of one, and may have as thick and black hair as other babies by the age of two.

If the baby is found to be malnourished after examination and the nutrition is met after supplementation, there is no need to worry if the hair does not grow out for a while. The baby's hair will slowly grow out after the above time.

Thin, yellow and soft hair: Remember to wash your hair every day

If your baby's hair is sparse, yellow and soft, it may be due to excessive oil secretion in the hair.

When the baby develops in the womb for 5 to 6 months, the fetal hair will slowly fall off. Newborn babies are in a period of rapid growth and active metabolism, so a lot of oil is secreted on the scalp.

In addition, the incidence of eczema in babies is very high before they are 6 months old, and sometimes it grows on the face and head. Some mothers are afraid to wash their babies' hair for this reason.

Little do people know that if the mother does not wash the baby's hair frequently, the oil, sweat and other secretions as well as pollutants on the baby's scalp will irritate the scalp, causing itching, blisters and even secondary infection, which will lead to easy hair loss.

Therefore, it is recommended that mothers also pay attention to washing their baby’s hair during daily care. Even if the baby has eczema, they can still take care of it as usual.
