Question
Why do babies have uneven hair growth?
Answer
Early on, babies tend to sweat excessively on their heads during diaper changes and deep sleep. This sweating leads to regional friction, causing discomfort that prompts them to frequently shake their heads. As a result, the back of the head is subjected to friction over time, leading to the appearance of dandruff. Additionally, the discomfort can make the baby restless and easily wake up during deep sleep. It is recommended to start calcium supplementation for premature babies two weeks after birth and for full-term babies after one month, continuing until they are 2 or 3 years old. Calcium supplementation is not just about adding more calcium; it’s also about ensuring absorption, as even if more is added, it will be ineffective if not absorbed.
