Although the two child policy has been relaxed, most families still choose to have only one child. The growth and development of babies has become a top priority in the family. However, some parents may find that their babies' hair grows very slowly and worry about whether they lack a certain vitamin. So, what is the reason for slow hair growth in babies?
1. Congenital factors: Each baby's genes and physical condition are different, and their development speed will also vary. The speed of hair growth will also vary greatly. Some babies are born with sparse hair. Compared to other babies, they naturally feel that their hair grows slower. This factor still depends on genes.
2. Baby zinc deficiency: Mom observes the baby for a period of time. If it is determined that hair grows slowly, it may be due to zinc deficiency. At this point, the mother needs to give the baby zinc supplements. If mothers are still breastfeeding, they can supplement zinc themselves and pass it on to their babies through breast milk.
3. Genetic factors: If one or both partners have slow hair growth and sparse hair, it will naturally affect the baby. However, later supplementation can also alleviate slow hair growth. Give your baby more ancient hair foods on a regular basis. But there is one thing to note. Supplementing food also needs to be done when the baby can digest it.
