Question

My baby is one month and one week old, and it’s a girl. The sides and back of her head have grown quite a bit of hair, but the forehead still has very little. Is there a problem?

Answer

Hello. It could be related to the baby possibly lacking trace elements. It is recommended to actively supplement. Take some cod liver oil to supplement vitamin D, and consider taking calcium carbonate or calcium acetate to observe the results. Additionally, you might want to have the baby tested for trace elements to see if there is a zinc deficiency. In newborns, proper breastfeeding or formula feeding is the mainstay. Pay attention to whether the baby has developed jaundice or an umbilical cord infection, etc.
