I have a daughter who is five months old now. Recently I noticed 3 white hair on her scalp. Is it because of any deficiency? What should I do naturally to reduce it. Her head was shaved when she was around 3 months, and after the head was shaven, I noticed only one hair which grew from the scalp. To my surprise, I noticed 2 more of white hair from her scalp, recently. Is it because of any vitamin deficiency. Note: 1) We shifted different places in the few months after her birth. Initially for the first three months, I was giving her bath with soft water and now we have shifted to a place where we get only hard water. 2) I used to give her" kidrich d3" drops by birth till she attained 14 weeks. On the advise of the pediatrician, I stopped giving her the drops and also am not giving any kind of vitamin supplements. 3) No other medical complaints. 4) She is on a mixed feed. Only giving her Nan Pro1. Still did not start solids for. Please advise me, whether she is getting the white hair naturally, or because of any vitamin deficiency, or will it reduce naturally or she will have that white hair till she grows up.

You should not bottle feed and feed from a cup. This is not due to vitamin deficiency and occasional hair change is common and will go away naturally.
