The reason why newborns have yellow hair

There are many reasons for the yellowing of babies' hair. There are genetic factors. If both parents have yellow and sparse hair, there is basically no possibility for the baby to have thick and black hair. There are nutritional factors. If the child does not get enough nutrition in the mother's womb, or lacks certain nutrients necessary for hair growth, then the child's hair will be dry and yellow after birth. Even if the fetus gets enough nutrition in the mother's womb, if the nutrition after birth is not good, it will cause sparse and yellow hair. There are also disease factors. Some children will develop rickets due to calcium deficiency, and children with rickets will have sparse and yellow hair.

What to do if your newborn baby has yellow hair

1. First, determine whether the child's yellow hair is due to genetic factors. If it is a genetic factor, then there is basically no way to change it. But this also shows that the child's bad hair is not caused by unhealthy factors. In this way, parents can rest assured about the healthy growth of their children. If there is a need for aesthetics, you can wait until the child grows up to dye his hair.

2. If the child's yellow hair is caused by malnutrition and other factors, then mothers must find ways to supplement the child with adequate nutrition. They can use dietary supplements and eat more foods containing B vitamins, vitamin A, and trace elements, such as black sesame, walnuts, carrots, red dates and other foods.

3. Then, see if the child's hair turns yellow accompanied by signs of rickets such as excessive sweating while sleeping, itchy scalp rubbing on the pillow, and pillow baldness. Rickets can also cause the child's hair to turn yellow. If this is the reason, then the child should be given calcium supplements, cod liver oil, and more sun exposure.
