After the baby is born, some mothers may not be able to breastfeed due to certain reasons, so it is necessary to give the baby formula milk powder. Some mothers find that their babies' hair starts to turn yellow after taking formula, and their hair is thick black and shiny at birth. So, what are the reasons why babies have yellow hair when they eat formula? Let's learn about it together.
1. When you notice that your baby's hair is gradually turning yellow and sparse, losing its luster, accompanied by sweating and loss of appetite, you can take your baby to the hospital for trace element testing to check for calcium and zinc deficiencies. In addition to timely supplementing calcium and zinc for babies, massaging their scalp every day can also promote blood circulation.
2. Yellow hair caused by iron deficiency and zinc is more common in young children, but it is not common for babies with sufficient milk intake. If genetic factors are excluded, supplementing babies with multiple vitamins can be helpful.
3. The proportion of nutrients required for hair growth to the total body nutrition is very small. If a child's hair turns yellow, there is no need to supplement with nutritional supplements. When the baby grows up a little, increases their food intake, and becomes more diverse, their hair will naturally improve.
There are many reasons why a baby's hair turns yellow, and mothers should not blindly believe in some folk remedies and apply something randomly on their baby's hair. Baby's skin is relatively tender. If some products are used indiscriminately, it may irritate the baby's skin and cause harm to the baby.
