What to do if baby has less hair on top of head

The health of babies is a topic that people are more concerned about, because babies are the most important members of a family and are the ones who need the most protection. Only the healthy growth of the baby can make the family's future better. Parents are particularly concerned about the problems of their babies, fearing that their babies may have any mishaps. For example, if a baby has less hair on the top of his head, this phenomenon is something that parents are very anxious about. Let’s take a look at what to do if a baby has less hair on the top of his head.

If other parts of the head grow fine except for the back of the head where hair doesn't grow, it is called occipital baldness. It is a sign of calcium deficiency. The child sweats excessively on the head during feeding and sleeping, and the excessive sweating causes local irritation, so the child likes to shake his head. When you shake your head, the back of your head is rubbed, which causes hair loss over time. In addition, the child is restless and easily awakened during sleep. Premature babies should start taking calcium supplements 2 weeks after birth, while full-term babies should start taking calcium supplements after one month. It is recommended to continue taking calcium supplements until the age of 2 or 3 years. There is also the problem of absorption when supplementing calcium. No matter how much you take, it will be useless if it is not absorbed. At the same time, supplementing AD (cod liver oil) can help calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Getting more sun exposure will also help calcium absorption. Be sure to go outdoors and not through glass, because ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass. In addition, the imperfection of the infant's gastrointestinal system will also affect absorption. It is recommended to supplement some beneficial intestinal bacteria while supplementing calcium, such as Mami Love, Biostime, etc. The imperfection of the gastrointestinal system is also the root cause of pediatric eczema. Therefore, for most children's diseases, improving the gastrointestinal tract is the key. You can take cod liver oil in the form of "Beteling" or "Icoxin".

In fact, it is normal for babies to have less hair on the top of their heads. Because the baby has not formed a complete hair follicle system when he is just born, there are certain restrictions on the growth of hair. The body's nutrition is basically used in the development of bones and muscles, so the baby will have less hair on the top of his head. Parents should not worry too much.
