Question : My baby had full hair front and back when born. Twice we removed complete hair. Still she’s not getting hair uniformly. Backside no hair growth. Frontside growth started. Now she’s 4months old. Been 10 days for hair removal. Please tell me why is this happening? Is it because I took laser hair removal last year before pregnancy?

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually baby hair will take time to grow if removed.
No need to worry . No treatment required .
Just continue breastfeeding .
I don’t think it is related to your laser treatment before pregnancy.
Wishing speedy recovery
