#asktheexpert how to remove hair from baby’s body

A. To gently remove fine body hair from your baby, you can use traditional home remedies like massaging with wheat flour dough (atta malish), a mixture of gram flour (besan), milk, and turmeric, or olive/coconut oil massage before bath. These methods help lighten and gradually reduce hair growth over time. Always be gentle and avoid harsh scrubbing, as a baby’s skin is very delicate. If the hair is excessive and thick, it is usually genetic and will reduce naturally as the baby grows. If concerned, consult a pediatrician before trying any remedy.
