Question
How should pig hair wind be treated? Do you need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does the treatment take?
Answer
You can try massaging your baby’s back, buttocks, and thighs with breast milk. If you rub out a lot of black, very itchy things, it might be pig hair wind at play. We call it “pig hair rash” because it looks a bit like pig hair. Although many people don’t know about this method, I generally recommend trying it if your baby can’t sleep peacefully, as there’s no harm in doing so! Besides affecting sleep quality, your baby may also experience sudden awakenings and crying out during sleep. Moreover, if pig hair wind is not discovered and treated early, your baby may become thinner over time.
