What should I do if my three-month-old baby loses his hair?

Some babies have experienced hair loss, which seriously threatens the baby's physical health. Therefore, once a baby has the problem of hair loss, it is necessary to pay attention to timely examination and treatment to ensure the health of the body and avoid certain diseases that are not treated in time. So what should I do if a three-month-old baby loses hair? Let me introduce it to you below.

There are generally two possibilities for this situation:

1. Physiological hair loss: The baby's lanugo may fall off in the first few weeks after birth, and the hair will recover after a few months. This is a normal phenomenon. Babies can also experience hair loss due to constant friction on their heads. When a baby is sleeping, the pressure generated by the weight of the head alone can cause a large area of ​​hair loss on the baby's back of the head. This is because the roots of a newborn's hair are not yet firmly attached to the skin, so even if the friction is not frequent, it can cause the hair to loosen and fall off.

2. Pathological hair loss: It is more common in rickets (calcium deficiency). In addition to hair loss, rickets is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as crying, waking up easily during sleep, sweating, etc. Because the pillow is irritated by sweat, babies often shake their heads and rub against the pillow when they sleep, resulting in sparse hair and hair loss on the pillow, forming typical occipital annular hair loss, which is medically known as "occipital baldness" and is an early manifestation of rickets in infants. Hair loss in three-month-old babies is generally physiological hair loss, so there is no need to worry too much. However, babies grow and develop very quickly after birth, and are prone to calcium deficiency. To prevent this, you should give them cod liver oil drops from 15 days after birth, and start taking calcium supplements at 4 months, and continue until about 2 years old.

It is recommended to do a blood calcium test. The baby can take Longmu Zhuanggu Granules to supplement calcium. Longmu Zhuanggu Granules is a compound preparation of Chinese and Western medicine. Chinese medicine regulates the spleen and stomach and promotes appetite and digestion, while Western medicine supplements calcium and vitamin D. It has the effect of supplementing calcium and promoting digestion, and can treat the baby's excessive sweating.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby has the above problems, the baby’s parents should pay attention to leading the baby to take diagnostic methods in time. This will effectively ensure the baby’s physical health and avoid serious threats to the baby’s physical health due to the above-mentioned conditions.
