Patient's question:
My baby is now almost four months old. When the hair first grew out, it was quite good. But ever since the vernix was trimmed, the new hair has been growing straight up, and in some places, there's no hair at all. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Based on the baby's condition, it is likely that they are missing some microelements. It is recommended to check carefully. Zinc deficiency is common. If the baby lacks calcium, their hair may not grow well. At four months, breastfed babies can start taking calcium supplements. Four-month-old babies do not grow as quickly. They will catch up gradually. It is suggested that mothers do not need to worry, as the baby is still young and things will improve over time. It is recommended that you focus on enhancing nutrition to ensure the baby does not lack microelements.
