The situation you mentioned may be caused by malnutrition. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to increasing nutrition, eating more fruits and vegetables. If there is a deficiency of iron, iron supplements are needed. After the nutritional status improves, it will gradually return to normal.The baby has sparse and yellow hair. Apart from genetic factors, it is necessary to consider whether the baby is deficient in trace elements such as zinc or calcium. It is best to take the child for a blood test to check for zinc or calcium deficiencies. Timely supplementation is important. If the deficiency is severe, medication may be needed to replenish zinc and calcium more effectively. Additionally, zinc and calcium can be supplemented through diet. The child can be given more liver (Dàwáng liver) and seafood, which are rich in zinc. It is also recommended to let the child get sunlight and engage in outdoor activities for at least one hour daily.
