Dr. Chheda – 👶 When does your baby’s hair fall out? And that can happen anytime between the first couple of months or even until the age of 5, 6 years old. It’s that fine baby hair that I’m talking about, and it will eventually fall out and adult hair will come in.

What you can do to help with that baby hair falling out is making sure they’re getting a full nutritional diet. Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin D deficiency or zinc deficiency can cause hair issues. So as long as they’re getting a full balanced diet, their hair should be fine.

You can always give them extra vitamin B, especially biotin, to help with hair growth and hair strength.

Sometimes you might have to shave all the baby hair off in order for the adult hair to come in. But if you’re still noticing cradle cap at around the ages of 5 or 6 years of age, they may still have their baby hair, and that’s why they’re still getting the cradle cap and the adult hair just can’t come in yet.
