POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. It's common for babies to experience slow or delayed hair growth after a tonsure (head shave). Hair growth patterns vary from baby to baby, and some may experience a delay in regrowth. Several factors could contribute to this, including genetics, nutritional intake, or even the natural shedding and growth cycle of baby hair. At 13 months, it's still normal for babies to have fine or sparse hair.
If you’re concerned, you can focus on providing a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially those that promote hair health like Vitamin D, B vitamins, and iron. Additionally, ensuring that your baby’s scalp remains clean and free of irritation is important for healthy hair growth. However, if you're still worried, consulting with your pediatrician or a dermatologist may help address any underlying concerns.
