Question
Why does a 9-month-old baby lose hair?
Answer
A baby losing hair is often due to a deficiency in calcium. Common reasons include insufficient calcium intake or poor absorption. It is advised for parents to take the baby to the hospital for a trace element level check. If a calcium deficiency is confirmed, appropriate calcium supplementation can be done under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, a balanced diet and moderate outdoor activities can help improve the baby’s hair growth. The baby’s lost hair usually grows back quickly, so parents should not worry too much.
