Bristles in newborns. What is it?

I have heard many times that parents of babies talk about a disease called "bristles in newborns." If you believe such rumors and conversations, then on the back and other parts of the body of newly born babies appears the most that neither is a bristle, similar to the stubble of the average man. The question of what is bristles in newborns, I asked the experienced doctor. In general, it is worth noting that this topic is concerned with a huge number of moms and dads. However, the expert impressed me with his ignorance. The fact is that he does not know anything about the disease called "bristles in newborns." But do not rush to conclusions about the lack of professionalism of my chosen doctor. I advise you to read this article to the end.

So bristles in newborns, in the opinion of young moms interviewed by me, are not uncommon. Moreover, almost half of them claimed that they had heard about this many times and were convinced of the existence of such a process on personal experience. On the question of how women struggled with this phenomenon in their kids, I received a fairly extensive response. It turns out that they were helped by older relatives and friends, thanks to the knowledge of which the parents of the child quickly removed his stubble from him. For this purpose we used crumb of black bread, honey and the like. What did I learn about this from a specialist?

Firstly, my familiar doctor said at the very beginning of our conversation with him that there can be no talk of any bristles in the children. However, as everyone knows, without smoke, smoke most often does not happen. Many inexperienced parents take for the bristles pushkovye hair on the back of their children. In some newborns this very hair in this area can be very long and thicker than usual. The phenomenon is atavistic in nature. In addition to all this, it is worth noting that often such long gun voloskas are wound from raspashnok, soft diapers and other pile lingerie. As a result, very small bumps gradually appear on the back of the baby. They are like crochets on clothes, which almost every person came across. Subsequently, these bumps become more and more. Of course, in this situation, the hairs stretch, which is the reason for the child's severe anxiety.

To worry and to sound alarm under the circumstances the parents should not. The same applies to the use of folk remedies, methods that supposedly help get rid of a disease called "bristles in babies". Do not rub the baby's back with honey, breast milk, vodka or crumb of bread. It is not necessary and to pull out, or, as people say, "roll out" hairs. You just hurt your child. After all, you just tear out the hairs. Naturally, this can not be done. The skin of newborns is very tender and soft. It's easy to damage. Tearing out the tenderest and thinnest hairs on the back of the baby, you do not help him at all.

In order to get rid of bumps or spikes on the hairs on the back of a small child, use an ordinary baby cream. First, lubricate the back of the newborn. Only after a couple of hours, carefully remove the pile from the hairs with your fingers. After carrying out such procedure it is recommended to redeem the kid. In the future, avoid clothes and bed linen made of strongly fleecy material. For clothes take other fabrics. As for the hairs themselves, which people call the disease "stubble in children," they will soon fall out by themselves. Thus, we have uncovered all the secrets about the so-called bristles in newborns. In conclusion, it should be said that you should not believe rumors, myths and try to get rid of any diseases in your children yourself. It is best to ask about what's bothering you, from an experienced specialist.
