Hair fall is common in babies during the first few months of life, but if you are noticing a significant amount of hair loss, it's best to consult a pediatrician. Dandruff can also contribute to hair fall, so it's good that you are using an anti-dandruff shampoo. However, you should avoid using any other hair products on your baby's scalp as it can cause irritation. You can massage your baby's scalp gently with coconut oil or almond oil before bathing. This can help moisturize the scalp and reduce dandruff. But make sure to wash off the oil thoroughly during the bath. Additionally, make sure your baby is getting proper nutrition as a deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals can also cause hair fall.
