Baby has been losing hair for 50 days and is also being breastfed. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby has been losing hair for 50 days, and I have been feeding them milk as well. After a few days, I heard from others that it's not advisable to pull hair during breastfeeding. What should I do? Does it matter? Do I need to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who are breastfeeding are more likely to experience hair dryness and blockage, and the medication can be harmful to the baby through breast milk. It is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding. Further close observation is needed to assess the impact on the baby, and no monitoring data will be available for the time being. The above advice is for the question "My baby has been losing hair for 50 days, and I have been breastfeeding him. What should I do?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
