The baby's fetal hair is grown from the mother's womb, and there is a custom of shaving when the moon is full. But how is it that some babies don't have long hair after shaving? Let's get to know.
What's the matter with the baby's hair not growing after shaving:
Lack of trace elements
If the baby does not have long hair after shaving for a long time, many people think that the baby may be lack of calcium and zinc. If breastfeeding, mom should pay attention to the balance of diet and rich nutrition, especially the supplement of zinc containing food, such as eggs, lean meat, dairy products, sea fish, shrimp, laver, kelp, peanut, walnut, sesame, etc.; you can test the blood for trace elements, and then supplement the symptoms.
Pillow baldness
It may also be occipital alopecia. Calcium deficiency of the baby may be manifested as occipital alopecia, but it is not completely caused by calcium deficiency. Sometimes the baby sweats a lot, sleeping on the pillow to rub around will also appear pillow hair is rare. If lack of calcium, there will be other symptoms, such as night terrors, restlessness, restlessness in sleep, etc. in addition, if the baby's hair grows slowly, it is necessary to wash and cut it frequently to stimulate the scalp to promote hair growth.
Baby's scalp is thin
Others think that because the baby's scalp is thin, the process of shaving the head has different stimulation on different parts of the hair follicle, resulting in the uneven growth of hair in different parts for a period of time. Some parts are dense and some parts are sparse. In addition, the occipital part is prone to compression. The hair in this part is very rare, showing obvious occipital baldness. These phenomena will gradually improve with the growth of infants, and have nothing to do with calcium deficiency, and do not need any special treatment.
In fact, all of the above statements are reasonable, but only on the basis of seeking truth from facts can we reach a conclusion. In the process of growing up, babies will always encounter such or such situations. Parents should first observe carefully for a period of time, and then take corresponding measures according to the examination opinions of pediatricians. Wish the babies a healthy growth.
