Regarding the question of whether the baby is deficient in calcium

Patient's question:

Hello! When my baby was around 80 days old, I had their hair shaved. Up to now, only the top of their head has grown hair, while the back of their head hasn't grown any at all. What could be the reason, doctor? Could it be due to calcium deficiency, so the back of their head hasn't grown hair? Or is it because of sleeping on a rice pillow...

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you mentioned, it seems that your child is a bit calcium-deficient. When children lack calcium, they may become restless during deep sleep at night, moving their heads back and forth, which can lead to bald spots on the back of their heads.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you give your child fish oil drops. Additionally, you can let them sunbathe when the sun is not too strong, but make sure to shield their eyes during sun exposure.
