Baby's head care?

1, sparse hair,

A lot of baby's hair grows slowly. There is almost no long hair. Some babies got sparse hair. Some babies got bald on the back of the head. Is there any problem with this? Is there any lack of nutrition? In fact, this phenomena is normal for most of the time. The amount of baby’s hair is related to the level of detachment of lanugo. The more detachment of lanugo, the less the baby’s hair, and seem to be growing very slow. Newborn baby is in fetal hair replacement cycle, hair growth slow is normal. And bald on back of head is because of friction.

Tips:

A calcium deficiency can also cause hair loss. Therefore, if the bald is not because of friction, you should see the doctor.

2, hair split at ends

The hair dryer can cause your baby's hair bifurcation. Baby’s hair is fragile and can not take the hair dryer; often using hair dryer often easily makes your baby's hair to be withered, bifurcation. So, it is better to use a soft, dry towel for drying baby hair, do not use hair dryer.

Tips:

If baby has anemia, the hair will be dry, lack luster. Baby with anemia can be pale or chlorosis, easy fatigue, low resistance to the virus.

3, head length swollen package

Some baby after birth will have a swollen package in the left or right top of the head. When give a soft touch, the press will not make babies crying, it seems that there is no pain, but it will not disappear, and slowly turn to harden, resulting eventually in a "corner"-shaped bulge, so that many new dad, new mother can remember it very clearly. In fact, this is just scalp hematoma, which results from the excessive pressures and pelvic friction during delivery. This caused rupture of subperiosteal vessels, the blood accumulate in the periosteum. When the pressure stops the bleeding, hematoma will no longer continue to increase. Followed by the hematoma can be absorbed and calcium, approximately after 2 ~ 3 months later (and some baby's hematoma may last longer, even up to a few months), tumor becomes smaller, hardened, and eventually looks as a "corner". Once this time, hematoma basically was cured.

Tips:

Some mom will use syringes for taking baby hematoma, which is not desirable. Because the hematoma has been extracted, the cavity pressure has eased, will lead to continued bleeding. The bacteria enter the hematoma can lead to bacterial infections, wounds and other serious consequences. Under normal circumstances 1 ~ 2 months hematoma will naturally eliminate.

4, fontanelle

There is a soft cover with no bones on baby’s head. This is fontanelle. Tthere are two fontanelles: one is the front fontanel, at the front of heads, which consists from the parietal bone with the frontal phase; the other is a rear-fontanelle, the transition from the parietal bone and occipital bone.
