Question

Does the newborn’s lanugo fall off due to friction with the head and pillow?

Answer

Hello, the newborn’s lanugo indeed falls off due to friction with the head and pillow, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if your baby is not only losing hair on the nape area, it may be necessary to consider whether there is a lack of trace elements. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up.
