My 5 month old son is taking lactogen 1 since last 1 months weight is gaining. But we have noticed his hair fall. We use baby shampoo in very little amount twice a week. His activities are normal. What may be the reason for hair fall.

Hi lybrate-user, hair loss may be secindary to seborreic dermatitis so it might required its treatment. You can give multivitamin drops. Thank you.

Less than 1 years hair fall is common as baby lies down on one or other side so presuure alopecia and hair fall is common. Only thing to rule out is any fungal infection of hair for that you need to consult once pediatrician or skin specialist.

This could be due to seborrhea. Or else is there any thyroid problems (hypothyroidism) in the family.
