Baldness in my baby
I see very slow hair growth on my 6 month baby. It took around 4 months to grow 1 inch of hair on her scalp. And very few hair, we can see her scalp through her hair. Is it due to some deficiency?

Thank you for your query
it’s completely normal for a 6 month old baby to have no hair or few hair
It doesn’t indicate an underlying health problem or deficiency
Hair growth differs in every baby
Some suggestions
1. Use a soft towel for bath
2. Use mild shampoo
3. Apply coconut oil to hair
4. Continue breast feeding
5. Start complimentary feeds after 6 months
