I believe many mothers have noticed a common problem, which is that the back of their baby's head is completely bald without hair, a phenomenon called occipital baldness. However, few mothers can understand the cause of this problem, let alone know how to solve it. What should we do if a three-year-old baby has a bald pillow?
1. Change sleeping position
In fact, most of the time, a baby's head loss is caused by excessive friction on the scalp, especially for babies who sleep on their backs more often, they are more prone to head loss. To solve the problem of baby's bald head, attention should be paid to changing the sleeping position of the baby. Do not always let the baby lie on their back. Proper lateral lying can relieve scalp sweating, reduce friction with the pillow, and allow hair to grow out of the bald area.
2. Timely calcium supplementation
If a baby lacks calcium in their body, it can also lead to increased sweating, which is an indirect cause of excessive scalp friction. At this time, the mother should test the baby for trace elements. If there is a calcium deficiency, the baby should be fed calcium in a timely manner, and some ingredients that can supplement calcium should be added to complementary foods.
3. Timely zinc supplementation
When a baby lacks zinc in their body, their hair will turn yellow and sparse. If the baby continues to rub their head at this time, it will cause less and less hair in the back of the head, which can lead to occipital baldness. In this case, it is necessary for the mother to promptly supplement zinc for the baby in order to gradually improve the phenomenon of pillow baldness.
