A. For a baby experiencing some hair fall, a few strands each day is generally normal, especially in young children, as their hair growth cycle goes through phases. Here’s what you can consider: Understanding Hair Loss in Babies 1. Normal Shedding: Some hair fall in babies and toddlers can be natural. Hair goes through growth and shedding cycles, which can lead to noticeable shedding for short periods. 2. Hair Texture Changes: Many babies experience a change in hair texture or thickness as they grow, which can cause some strands to fall out before new growth begins. 3. Temperature of Hands: Warm hands are usually not a concern on their own, as babies can have variations in body temperature due to activity, environment, or other factors. Tips to Reduce Hair Fall 1. Gentle Hair Care: Use a mild baby shampoo and avoid washing his hair too frequently. Be gentle when drying his hair to prevent breakage. 2. Balanced Diet: If your son is eating solids, ensure he’s getting nutrients that support hair growth, like protein, iron, and vitamins. These nutrients can be found in foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein sources. 3. Hydration: Make sure he is well-hydrated, as dehydration can contribute to dry scalp and hair fall. When to Consult a Pediatrician If you notice significant bald spots, redness on the scalp, or if hair fall seems excessive, it’s best to discuss it with your pediatrician. They can assess for any nutritional deficiencies, scalp issues, or other factors. Generally, mild hair fall is common and often resolves on its own as children grow. Keeping up with gentle hair care and monitoring for any other symptoms should help manage the situation.
