How to prevent newborn hair loss?

PCOS taught me that bodies do their own thing sometimes, and we just need to support them. For newborns, their hair loss is usually a hormonal thing, completely normal. You can't 'prevent' it in the strict sense. Just use gentle baby products and a soft brush, and let nature take its course.

Oh my god, I totally freaked out when my baby started losing hair! I thought something was wrong. But all the doctors and older ladies told me it's absolutely normal, it's called 'telogen effluvium' for babies. The new hair will grow back. Just keep the scalp clean and use gentle baby oil.

Actually, for newborns, a little bit of hair loss is very natural. Don't worry too much about it. You can gently massage their scalp with a little pure coconut oil to promote circulation. But if it seems excessive or there are red patches, definitely show it to the pediatrician.

Yaar, newborn hair loss is super common, don't stress! My baby had it too. It's just their hormones settling down and the old hair making way for new. You can't really prevent it, actually. Just be gentle when washing their hair and use a soft towel. That's about it.
