Baby at birth congenital hair should always be shaved?

If every baby at birth congenital hair should always be shaved? Will it affect the growth if not shaved?

Answer :

Indeed there are many reasons for the need to shave baby's hair. Start the teachings of religion, part of the culture, to hygiene reasons. Whatever the effect, shave baby's hair does have many benefits, including;

Clean the fat. As I passed the birth canal, a lot of fat and the "dirt" attached to the mother's womb baby in the whole body, including in her hair. Not to mention the dirt from the baby itself, like spit on a pillow which is then attached to the hair. By washing alone may not be enough, until the pile of grease and grime should be cleaned by shaving the hair.

So as not easily irritated. By shaving the baby's hair, the mother easily observe if there was something unexpected, such as irritation, ulcers, wounds, and so forth.

To be "cool". With no hair, of course the movement of air around the baby will easily be enjoyed by the skin of his head. That way she would feel more comfortable, especially for baby who live in tropical climates.
