Question
My baby is 74 days old, and she is losing a lot of hair, with her hair scattered all over her clothes and blankets. The elders say it’s shedding ’lazy hair’. Previous treatment and results: Not concerned. How can we assist: Is it due to calcium deficiency or something else? If it is calcium deficiency, can we supplement with cod liver oil? How should we specifically supplement?
Answer
Considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, treatment with calcium gluconate, along with Longmu Strong Bone Granules, should suffice. It’s also recommended to consume more complementary foods rich in calcium, such as bone broth. Guidance: Foods high in calcium include milk and dairy products, legumes, shrimp shells, etc. It’s suggested to expose the baby to more sunlight, particularly on the lower legs, back, and back of the head. These are the best areas for sun exposure. The above suggestions are for the question ‘Is a two-month-old baby’s hair loss on the back of the head a sign of calcium deficiency?’ I hope this helps; wishing you health!
