Recently, I have heard many friends say that they found that the baby has a white hair on his head, so they are panicked, what is the reason for the white hair on the baby's head?
In fact, the child's head suddenly grew one or two white hairs to remove the genetic problems, most likely is the lack of trace elements and vitamins! You can take your child to the hospital regularly to check whether trace elements are lacking, generally there is no big problem with one or two white hairs, and parents do not need to worry too much.
There are generally several questions about your baby's hair
First, the hair is yellow, and even a few white hairs appear
Many careful mothers will find that their baby's hair slowly turns yellow and thin and soft, sometimes mixed with a few white hair, hair color and the body's intake of protein, vitamins and trace elements have a great relationship, if the baby is short of iron or zinc, the hair is easy to yellow; if the protein deficiency will lead to the child's hair quality is relatively poor; the reason for chasing it is because the child is picky eater or the unreasonable addition of complementary foods leads to the child's spleen and stomach weakness and malnutrition. Baby appear a few white hair Mom and Dad do not worry too much, may be because the hair follicles of these hair are in the aging stage, with the child's age and the continuous development of the body, physiological functions will gradually return to normal, white hair will slowly disappear; but if the baby's hair shows a large area of white hair needs to be paid attention to, you need to take the baby to the hospital dermatology or pediatric department for systematic examination.
Second, the hair is relatively thin
Newborn children are in a critical period of growth and development, the growth rate is very fast and the metabolic capacity is also very strong, so the secretion of oil on the baby's scalp will also increase, if the mother does not often wash the baby's hair, the oil on the scalp will stimulate the scalp to cause the scalp to itch, and even secondary infection, resulting in easy hair loss. The lack of certain trace elements such as zinc and iron can easily lead to the thinning of the baby's hair, so if the baby's hair thinning problem still exists around one year old and there is no obvious improvement, the corresponding trace element detection should be done.
Third, the appearance of occipital baldness
Some children in the back of the head bone protruding in a circle of horizontal hair, this situation belongs to physiological loss, may be because the child has been lying flat to sleep, the skull and pillow constant friction caused by hair loss, children are relatively easy to sweat, lying when the head likes to swing left and right, naturally will be vulnerable to the back of the head hair has a certain damage, resulting in the emergence of pillow baldness.
