Q.

#asktheexpert Hi doctor, my baby is 1 year. He has very little hair on his head. At birth there was no hair at all. But now hair has grown a little but it is very scarce and bit thin. I'm so worried. Pls advise. When can I expect thick hair growth?

A. hi j its perfectly normal for infants to lose hair upto 6 months of age. all hair in infants are in different growth phases. it will take variable time, sometimes even 2 yrs to grow head full of hair in babies. so don't worry. .

A. hi it depends on genetic and diet so first one you can not control. but yes please offer homemade healthy and well blanaced diet for healthy hair growth it is best to give fresh fruit like pomegranate,amla etc which are full of antioxidants. keep your child well hydrated. avoid giving RO water. provide apt sunlight at least 20 minutes a day apply coconut oil daily on your child hair. wash his or her with mild shampoo. maintain good hygiene
