What to do if your newborn baby has less hair

What should I do if my newborn baby has less hair? This problem is quite common, because the baby's hair is fluffy when it is born, which has a great impact on the baby's later hair growth. Everyone knows that babies must be shaved after birth, which is called shaving the lanugo, which is more beneficial to hair growth. However, many parents of babies do not know this custom and do not shave the lanugo, but there is a reason for this, because they think that newborns have less hair. So, what should we do about this phenomenon? Let’s take a look at the introduction below.

Wash and comb your baby's hair frequently. This can stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth. When combing, comb in the direction of the baby's hair's natural growth, and do not force it to grow in one direction. Usually, the baby's hair should be washed every 2-3 days to provide benign stimulation to the scalp, promote hair growth, and prevent the oil, sweat and pollutants on the scalp from irritating the scalp, causing itching, blisters and even infection, leading to hair loss. When washing your baby's hair, choose a non-irritating, easy-to-foam children's shampoo. When washing your baby's hair, gently massage your baby's scalp with your fingertips. Do not rub the scalp and hair vigorously to prevent the hair from getting tangled and difficult to comb, causing damage to the scalp and causing hair loss. After each washing, it is best to comb your baby's hair with a soft and elastic children's comb. This can stimulate the scalp, promote local blood circulation, and promote hair growth.

There is basically no need to treat the problem of newborns having less hair. The baby is in the growth and development period, so there is no need to worry too much about the hair problem. As long as the baby's nutritional supply can be guaranteed in the later stage, it will be a good thing. If the nutrition of the fetus keeps up, it can promote the growth of hair to a certain extent.
