A. Yes, as the child grows, the baby body had the shed off on their own. Not try to remove them that will cause more problem and the child might develop unnecessary skin infection.

A. Yes, baby body hair—also called lanugo—is common and usually falls off on its own within a few weeks or months after birth. This soft, fine hair helps protect the baby's skin in the womb. Some babies, especially those born early or with a strong genetic background, may have more visible body hair. There is no need to rub or apply anything to remove it. Regular gentle bathing and massage with natural oils like coconut or almond oil can help it shed naturally. If the hair remains thick or continues beyond infancy, you can consult a pediatrician, but it is usually harmless and temporary.
