When babies are born, they don't have much hair, and by 5 months old, the hair on their heads still looks very sparse and not thick at all. The thinning of baby hair also affects their appearance, making them look less cute than other children. Parents are also worried that their baby's hair will always be so thin and want to help them solve this problem. What should be done for a 5-month-old baby with thinning hair?
1. Supplementing nutrition
Baby's sparse hair may be due to a lack of certain trace elements in the body, such as calcium, zinc, etc. At this time, parents should supplement their baby with more nutrients to make up for the lack of trace elements in the baby's body. Gradually, the baby's hair will naturally grow more lush.
2. Breastfeeding mothers need to replenish qi and blood
If a mother lacks qi and blood, the nutritional value of the breast milk provided to the baby is insufficient, and the baby cannot obtain enough nutrition from breast milk, resulting in naturally less dense hair growth. It is recommended that mothers eat more foods that nourish qi and blood, such as jujube, ginseng, longan, etc., in their daily lives. They can also pay attention to balanced nutrition every day to ensure sufficient intake of nutrients.
3. Let nature take its course
Some babies have sparse hair due to genetic factors, rather than a lack of certain trace elements in the body or insufficient nutrition in the mother's breast milk. For this situation, there is generally no solution and we can only wait for the baby to grow up. As the baby grows up, their hair will also slowly grow out.
