What to do if your one and a half year old baby has thinning hair

Many parents start to worry when their baby's hair is thinning, thinking that their child is missing something. Experts say that it is normal for children to have thinning hair, and don't blindly supplement it as it will cause harm to the baby. Usually, children will change when they reach a certain age. There is no need to be too anxious. Parents should not be too nervous. Hair varies from person to person just like height. Some babies have thin hair but it won't be much different when they grow up. Parents should keep a good attitude.

1. As long as your baby has a balanced diet, sufficient milk, and good growth and development, your baby's hair will definitely grow. Wash and trim his hair frequently and take good care of his hair.

2. The growth of baby's hair is not only affected by trace elements in the body such as calcium and zinc, but also has a lot to do with genetics and individual differences. Don't worry about this situation. It's best to check your baby's blood trace elements regularly. If there is no deficiency, there is no need to worry. Children change very quickly. If there is a deficiency, it must be supplemented in time. In addition, the baby's diet should be balanced and reasonable.

3. Don’t worry if your newborn baby has thin hair

Some newborns are born with thick, black hair, but others have thin hair. In comparison, parents begin to worry, fearing that their children's thinning hair is due to insufficient nutritional intake of the mother during pregnancy. Experts say: There is no need to be alarmed if a newborn has thin hair.

4. There are individual differences in the amount of fetal hair

This difference has nothing to do with the mother's nutrition, illness, pregnancy reaction, emotions, etc. during pregnancy, so the mother should not blame herself or feel guilty because the newborn has less hair after birth. Having thin hair at birth does not affect the child's future hair growth. Some parents worry that their newborns have little hair at birth and will lose hair in the future, affecting their appearance. According to relevant data analysis, under normal circumstances, when a child is 1 year old, or even earlier, their hair will gradually grow. By the age of 2, their hair has grown quite a lot, and they are no different from other children.

I hope the above is helpful to everyone. The reason for the baby's thinning hair is not due to nutrition. Some children have thick black hair while others have thinner hair. This is normal. Parents should not be too nervous as each child's situation is different. I hope parents will not give supplements to their children casually. If you think it is necessary, consult a doctor and let the doctor decide whether the child needs supplements.
