Infant hair loss is generally divided into physiological hair loss and pathological hair loss. Infant hair loss is mostly a normal physiological hair loss phenomenon. Physiological hair loss is mainly the natural renewal of the fetal hair of newborns four or five months after birth, without other abnormalities. This is mainly because most of the hair follicles of the baby's hair quickly change from the growth stage to the resting stage within a few days after birth. The general manifestation is that the hair is black when it is just born, but it slowly turns yellow, and diffusely falls off four or five months after birth. This kind of infant hair loss does not require treatment and most of them can get better naturally. Zhixin hair transplant experts said that some infants' hair loss is pathological hair loss. This kind of hair loss may be caused by calcium deficiency. There is occipital baldness accompanied by decreased blood calcium, increased alkaline phosphatase, night terrors, irritability, etc., and calcium supplementation is needed in time.

What to do if your newborn baby loses hair

Calcium deficiency and trace element deficiency can lead to hair loss: Generally speaking, children will experience hair loss when they are calcium deficient, and will have symptoms such as decreased blood calcium, night terrors, and irritability. If it is due to a lack of trace elements, then you need to go to the hospital for a nutritional examination of trace elements, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, and then develop a reasonable diet. Infant hair loss can be affected by other reasons, such as seborrheic dermatitis, drugs, poisoning, head trauma, chickenpox, perm damage, etc., which are all pathological hair loss. Therefore, it is recommended that parents check their children in time when they find these phenomena to see what exactly causes them, and then provide targeted treatment.

First, pay attention to whether it is calcium deficiency. Also pay attention to whether it is zinc deficiency. Take zinc gluconate orally appropriately, and do not eat MSG and chicken essence. Pay attention to proper supplementation of calcium and vitamin D. In addition, pay attention to the damage of hair follicles caused by shaving your head, which affects hair growth. Do not shave your head again in the future. This situation will gradually improve. The lack of hair around is related to the friction between clothes and pillows.

Hello, hair loss is related to nutrition, and also has a lot to do with mental stress or sudden mental stimulation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause and then receive timely treatment. You should supplement with high-quality protein, B vitamins, vitamin C and calcium, maintain a happy mood, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and foods with too much fat, ensure adequate sleep, and often rub the areas where hair falls out with ginger to promote hair growth. The diet should be comprehensive, eat more hard-shelled foods and black sesame seeds appropriately.

Should a newborn baby have his head shaved after one month?

Elders believe that shaving a baby's head after one month will make the hair darker and thicker in the future. However, the quality of hair has nothing to do with shaving the hair. Since hair grows from the hair follicles under the scalp, no matter what is done to the hair above the scalp, the hair growing in the hair follicles will not be affected. Whether the hair grows fast or slow, thick or thin, black or white, or more or less has nothing to do with shaving the hair, but is related to the baby's growth and development, nutritional status and genetic genes. The baby's skin is thin and tender, and its resistance is weak. Shaving can easily cause skin loss and infection. If bacteria invade the roots of the hair and destroy the hair follicles, not only will the hair not grow well, but it will backfire and cause hair loss. In addition, hair can protect the baby's head. When the head is accidentally attacked or damaged by external objects, the thick and elastic hair will be the first to bear the brunt, which can prevent or reduce damage to the head. Once the hair is shaved, the skin of the head is exposed. If you do not do a good job of sun protection when going out, it will easily cause brain damage due to direct radiation from the sun.
