It is normal for a baby's hair to be thick and thin. At this time, the baby's hair is still fetal hair, and its development is extremely slow. It will not return to normal until one year old. There should be a bald pillow now, and the place where the back of the head presses the pillow is not long.
The growth rate of baby's hair is different, which has a physiological basis. Generally, the hair at the fontanel is thicker, which can prevent the skin of the head from being stimulated by the sun and wind, and protect the fontanel that has not been closed. The baby has cartilage in the back of the head and is more likely to be injured. Thick hair also has a protective effect. These are all physiological, don't worry.
Second, what are the factors that affect hair health?
First of all, it depends on the genetic factors of parents. Parents have thick black hair, and children have a high probability of having the same hair; However, if the parents' hair is thin and yellow, it is less likely that the child's hair will be dark and thick.
In addition, whether the nutrition is sufficient or not, the state of the hair is different. If the body lacks calcium, the child is prone to "pillow baldness", that is, the hair in the back of the head is obviously not so long; Hair is sparse and yellow, which may be zinc deficiency. Only by supplementing the lack of trace elements and minerals can the hair regain its vitality.
Third, what should I do if my baby has pillow baldness?
Usually, the baby's hair is thick and thin, which is normal. Most fontanels are thicker and have fewer cheeks. Parents don't have to worry. The baby's condition is also related to the parents' hair quality. If parents have good hair quality, children's hair will get darker and darker. Only when the baby is found to have "pillow baldness" can you pay attention to calcium supplementation or zinc supplementation.
