Why is the hair thinning in a seven-month-old baby?

What mothers are most concerned about is probably the development of their babies. Of course, everyone hopes that their babies can develop comprehensively in all aspects. However, if the baby is already seven months old and still does not have much hair, people will be particularly worried, fearing that their child's hairline will be too high in the future. So what is the cause of this situation? Is there any good way to solve it?

1The amount of hair is closely related to genetics, and there are also great individual differences. Many babies have the problem of thinning hair, which is a normal phenomenon as long as no disease is found. As we age, our hair will gradually become thicker. However, thinning hair is one of the typical symptoms of rickets, so you must be careful. You can observe your baby's condition comprehensively to see if, in addition to thinning hair, he or she has other symptoms of rickets, such as being easily startled during sleep, irritability, an enlarged fontanelle or delayed closure, pigeon chest, square head, etc. If you are not sure, take your baby to see a doctor in time. In daily life, mothers can take their babies out to bask in the sun more often, keep their heads clean, remove cradle cap in time, and treat milk eczema. In addition, giving your baby regular head massages can promote local blood circulation, which is very beneficial for promoting hair growth.

This is related to the speed of myelination of the hair, just like the teeth in the mouth, which will grow out naturally at a certain time. Usually when the baby is about 1 year old, the hair will start to grow naturally, but it will be sparse at first. When the baby is 5-6 years old, the hair will gradually become thick and black. However, acquired factors cannot be ignored.

3After excluding genetic and disease problems, baby's hair problems are generally caused by nutritional deficiencies. Especially the lack of vitamin A and vitamin B1, B

2. B6, B12, folic acid, calcium, zinc, iron and other minerals cause nutritional deficiencies in the hair and hinder its normal growth and development. Therefore, we should pay attention to the scientific diet of infants and young children, not to be partial or picky eaters.
