During the period when a child is born, parents may notice that the child has hair loss, especially in the back of the head where there is a bald area. In fact, this is a phenomenon of occipital baldness, but many parents do not understand what causes it. So, what are the reasons for pediatric occipital baldness?
Firstly, if children have calcium deficiency, they are prone to developing occipital alopecia. However, many children may still be in the stage of drinking milk and not eating other foods. If you want to supplement calcium for your child at this time, breastfeeding mothers can eat more calcium rich foods or directly take some calcium supplements. Through milk, children can supplement calcium and improve their condition of baldness.
Secondly, when children are sleeping, they may frequently turn their heads. If the hair follicles on their heads are not yet fully developed, they are prone to hair loss, which can lead to occipital baldness over time. Don't worry too much about this situation. As the child grows up and the hair follicles develop better, the condition of occipital baldness will naturally improve, and no other care is needed.
In addition, once a child develops occipital alopecia, parents can take the child to the hospital for nutritional testing. If calcium deficiency is detected, targeted calcium supplementation can be carried out. Many children with severe calcium deficiency can directly take calcium supplements, which have better and faster effects on calcium supplementation. If little people can eat complementary foods, they can also eat more calcium rich foods. Helps with calcium supplementation.
