Reasons for hair loss in two-month-old babies

After giving birth, many young mothers are always at a loss about some changes in their children's bodies. For example, their babies lose their hair at two months old. This makes many mothers very distressed and they don't understand what is going on with their children. So how could such a young child suddenly lose his hair? Let’s take a look at it next.

It is normal for babies to lose hair. Most of the time it is insidious hair loss, that is, the originally thick hair gradually becomes cottony, light in color, and sparse. Some of it is sudden hair loss, but most of them will gradually recover. It is a normal phenomenon, so mothers don't need to worry. The amount of hair varies from person to person and is also related to genetic factors. Some newborns have sparse hair, but the hair will gradually grow around 1 year old. By 2 years old, the hair will have grown quite a lot. By 5-6 years old, the hair will be as thick and black as other babies, and will not experience hair loss in the future. Because babies have sparse hair, many parents dare not wash their babies' hair. In fact, the hair that falls out during the washing process is automatically lost due to aging. If you do not wash your hair for a long time, secretions such as oil and sweat, as well as pollutants will irritate the hair, causing itching and blistering of the scalp, and even secondary infection, which will cause the hair to fall out. Shaving the baby's hair is not an advisable method either. Blindly applying hair growth essence or drugs such as hair growth spirit on the baby's scalp is also not advisable. It should be noted that such drugs are not suitable for the tender scalp of infants and young children, and may even bring adverse consequences. You can (1) wash your hair frequently, (2) comb your hair frequently, and (3) get enough nutrition. Let your baby consume more protein, vitamins A, B, C and foods rich in minerals in a timely manner according to his or her age. (4) Get more sun exposure.

From the above article, we learned that the main reason why babies lose their hair in the past two months is because the child’s body lacks an element. If the child is in this condition and is not sick, don’t worry too much and give the child a healthy diet.
