It is very common that babies have less hair when they are born, so as to provide a better way to increase the baby's hair, then babies have less hair and shave their heads. Let's learn together.
Babies with sparse hair should shave their heads more 1 Do babies with sparse hair need to shave their heads more?
Shaving your head more can't make your baby's hair coarse and black or improve its quality. After the baby is born, the fetal hair will obviously fall off at about six months, and the new hair will be darker than the fetal hair, so this may be because people think that the baby's hair is scarce and it is useful to shave more, but this is a very natural phenomenon.
In addition, due to the delicate skin of infants aged 0 to 1 year, when their functions are not perfect, during the shaving process, the blade will cause many invisible injuries to the scalp of infants, which will lead to the invasion of viruses. From the perspective of preventing infection, it is unreasonable and unsafe to shave your baby's head.
In short, the baby's head sac is not well developed within one year old, and it is normal not to grow hair, so shaving more hair can't make the baby's hair more lush.
How to care for baby with scarce hair?
1, balanced nutrition
Babies within one year old are mainly breast-fed, so pregnant women should ensure a balanced diet with milk, lean meat, fish, eggs, shrimp, bean products, fruits and vegetables, so as to make the baby's nutrition sufficient and make the hair grow stronger and more beautiful.
2. Get more sunshine
Proper sunlight and fresh air can not only sterilize, but also promote the blood circulation of scalp, which is very beneficial to the growth of baby's hair.
Through my introduction, mothers should have a certain understanding of the problem that it is ok to shave their heads more when the baby's hair is scarce. In fact, it is normal for children to have less hair within one year old, so there is no need for mothers to worry too much. As long as they do the necessary nursing work for their children, this phenomenon will disappear as the children grow up.
How to shave your head when your baby's hair is scarce?
Many times, the baby's lack of hair may be due to the lack of certain nutrients, sufficient and comprehensive nutrition, which is very important for the baby's hair development. Let the baby eat more protein, VA, VB, VC and mineral-rich foods according to the age of the month in time, which can make the hair promotion technique stronger and more beautiful, which is extremely important for hair growth.
Below, let's take a look at what to do if the baby doesn't grow hair.
When a baby is born, the amount of hair varies from person to person. Some babies may have thick hair, but some may have sparse roots, and some may not even have one.
The reason for this is that when the fetus develops in the uterus for 5-6 months, the fetal hair will slowly fall off. If the fetal hair falls off less, the baby's hair will appear more at birth. Infants and young children with thin hair will grow out slowly around 1 year old. After two years old, hair will grow like that of ordinary children. When you are 5-6 years old, your hair will be as thick and black as other babies.
What should I do when I find that my baby's hair is thin?
1, wash your hair and comb your hair frequently. It can stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth. When combing, it should be combed in the direction of natural growth of baby hair, not in one direction. Usually, you should wash your baby's hair once every 2-3 days, so that the scalp can get benign stimulation, promote hair growth and growth, and also avoid the scalp oil, sweat and pollutants from irritating the scalp, causing scalp itching, blistering and even infection, leading to hair loss; When shampooing your baby, you should choose a child-specific shampoo that is non-irritating and easy to foam. When washing your hair, you should gently massage your baby's scalp with your fingers. Do not rub and wash the scalp and hair hard, so as not to make the hair tangled up and difficult to comb, so that the scalp is damaged and the hair falls off; After each cleaning, it is best to comb the baby's hair with a soft and elastic hair comb for children, which can stimulate the scalp, promote local blood circulation and promote hair growth.
2. Adequate nutrition. Adequate and comprehensive nutrition is very important for the baby's hair development. Let the baby eat more protein, VA, VB, VC and mineral-rich foods according to the age of the month in time, which can make the hair upgrade stronger and more beautiful. This is extremely important for hair growth. To ensure the intake and collocation of meat, fish, eggs, fruits and various vegetables, laver and kelp rich in iodine should also be given to the baby regularly. If the baby has bad eating habits of picky eaters and partial eclipse, it should be corrected as soon as possible to ensure that rich and sufficient nutrients are supplied to hair roots through blood circulation and promote hair growth.
3. Get more sunshine. Ultraviolet irradiation is not only beneficial to sterilization, but also can promote the development of scalp and hair. In addition, proper exposure to sunlight is also very beneficial to baby's hair growth. Ultraviolet rays can promote scalp blood circulation and improve hair quality. Don't expose your baby's scalp when the sun is strong. It's best to wear a sun hat to prevent sunburn. However, a few months later, there will be pillow baldness, accompanied by sweating, irritability and crying, which may be the manifestation of rickets caused by calcium deficiency and VD in the body. If this happens, you should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.
4. Adequate sleep is also important for your baby's hair growth. Lack of sleep can easily lead to poor appetite, frequent crying and illness, which indirectly affects hair growth. Why don't you like long hair? If other places grow well, but the back of the head doesn't like long hair, that is, the pillow is bald, which is a manifestation of calcium deficiency. When the child is nursing and sleeping, the head is sweaty, which causes local irritation, so the child likes to shake his head. When shaking your head, the pillow is rubbed, which causes hair loss for a long time. In addition, children are restless and easily awakened during sleep.
Premature infants should start calcium supplementation 2 weeks after birth, and full-term infants should start calcium supplementation after the full moon. It is recommended to supplement calcium until they are 2 or 3 years old.
There is also a problem of absorption in calcium supplementation. No matter how much it is supplemented, it is no use not absorbing it. At the same time, supplementing AD (cod liver oil) can help the absorption of calcium and prevent rickets. More sunshine will also help the absorption of calcium. Be sure to go outdoors, not through the glass, because ultraviolet rays can't penetrate the glass. In addition, the imperfection of the baby's gastrointestinal system will also affect absorption.
It is suggested to supplement calcium with some intestinal beneficial bacteria, such as Mamiai and Synbiotics (rest assured, the more beneficial bacteria are not medicine, the better). The imperfection of gastrointestinal system is also the root cause of eczema in children, so improving gastrointestinal tract is the key to most diseases in children.
The most commonly used calcium is "Golden Hoop L- Calcium Lactate Granule" and "Aier Calcium Granule". Cod liver oil can be eaten with "Bateling" or "Icosin". I recommend "Ikexin", which has the smell of peanut oil, and babies like it, while "Beteline" is fishy. Cod liver oil is taken at most one pill a day, and it will be poisoned if you eat more.
In addition, there is another option. The "Jiansheng Ocean Calcium" is divided into 0~ 1 year and 1 year or older. It should be noted that this calcium powder already contains the ingredients of cod liver oil, so it is not necessary to add cod liver oil. You can't eat more cod liver oil, it will be poisoned. It is very soluble in water and easily absorbed. Secondly, it saves the cost of cod liver oil and is more economical.
Supplement the misunderstanding of VD-don't abuse cod liver oil!
Some mothers think that cod liver oil is vitamin D, and eating a few more drops is only beneficial and not harmful. As everyone knows, excessive vitamin A or D can cause poisoning.
Acute poisoning of vitamins A and D in children can cause increased intracranial pressure, headache, nausea, vomiting, irritability, listlessness and protrusion of the anterior fontanel, which is often mistaken for meningitis. Chronic poisoning is characterized by poor appetite, fever, diarrhea, mouth erosion, hair loss, itchy skin, anemia, polyuria and so on.
If you find the above symptoms, stop taking cod liver oil, get less sunshine and go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.
This parent, if you are sure that your baby can get enough sun every day, mainly the buttocks, small hands and feet, and you are worried that taking more cod liver oil will be poisoned, you can eat one cod liver oil every other day. In fact, it mainly depends on the baby's gastrointestinal absorption (if the baby loves eczema, it also means that the gastrointestinal function is not good). My baby just can't absorb it well. I give him calcium and cod liver oil every day and take him out to bask in the sun for a long time on several days.
Note that calcium should not be mixed with milk. Because after calcium powder is mixed with milk, milk will form small pieces, which will affect absorption. Calcium and cod liver oil should be eaten half an hour after feeding.
If all the hair grows thin, soft and yellow, it is a sign of zinc deficiency.
Then you can try "Hebei Aonuo Calcium Zinc Gluconate Oral Liquid" for your baby, which contains calcium and zinc. My baby started taking it from 10 month, and the effect is good. You don't need to supplement calcium when you eat this, which also needs to be eaten with cod liver oil.
The above is the introduction about how to do baby's hair is scarce and how to do baby's hair is not long. Sometimes baby's hair is short of calcium, and sometimes it may just be because the way of washing hair is wrong. Mothers should find out the reasons specifically.
