POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. It's common for babies to experience some hair loss, especially during the first year. Babies are often born with fine, soft hair that may fall out naturally as they go through different stages of growth. This hair shedding, often referred to as telogen effluvium, typically happens around 3-6 months of age and is a normal process where the hair follicles rest, and new hair starts to grow in its place.
If your 5-month-old's hair isn't growing as quickly as expected or if you notice significant thinning, there’s usually no need to worry unless:
Patchy Hair Loss: If the hair loss is in specific patches rather than overall thinning, or if there are signs of skin irritation or inflammation (like redness or itching), it might be due to an underlying condition like fungal infections, eczema, or other scalp issues.
Other Symptoms: If you notice any other concerning symptoms like changes in skin, appetite, or general health, it’s best to consult your pediatrician to rule out any health issues or nutrient deficiencies.
In most cases, baby hair growth takes time, and hair thickness will vary between babies. Continue to provide a nutritious diet, including breast milk or formula, and practice gentle scalp care. If the hair loss continues or you're concerned, consulting your pediatrician can help reassure you and address any underlying causes.
