Do girls have to shave their lanugo hair?

Question 1: Hello doctor, my baby is five months old and has been losing hair very badly recently. Is it because the lanugo hair is falling off? I said it was okay, but my mother-in-law said that the baby\’s hair was not good and she had to shave her head. Dr. Cui Lixia\’s answer: According to what you said, it may be that the fetal hair is falling off. The fetal hair in infants and young children usually falls off on its own. 1. The hair of newborns after birth is all lanugo. The growth period of lanugo is short. It usually falls off a few weeks after the baby is born, or falls off between 4-6 months. There are individual differences. This is also called physiological alopecia. 2. Hair loss in babies before six months is normal, so don’t worry too much. It is recommended to wash your hair with warm water and massage gently to promote blood circulation in the head. 3. The skin of newborns is sensitive. If you shave at home, it will easily hurt the skin and cause infection. It is recommended to cut the hair short, but do not shave the head. 4. The baby\’s hair is related to growth and development, nutritional status, and parental genetics, and has nothing to do with whether or not the head is shaved. Question 2: Hello doctor! What is the reason why I have severe pain around my belly button the day before my menstruation these two times recently, but it doesn’t hurt when I have my menstruation? What’s going on? Dr. Pan Guilan answered: Hello, we do not rule out the possibility of uterine cold. It is recommended that when menstruation comes, keep the baby warm by keeping the abdomen warm, drink brown sugar water, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Question 3 Hello doctor! A 3-and-a-half-year-old boy always smells bad in his mouth. Does he need treatment? Or is it better to just grow up? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: Brush your teeth every day before going to bed, adjust your diet, and take medicine to aid digestion.
