Baby hair cut

Is it rly necessary to cut newborn hair during their 1st or 4th month? I find it so irritating that people have been pestering to cut my baby hair when she just turn a month old.. recently it happen again! And this time round they’re saying my baby needs to get the hair cut to botak during her 4th month! What year is it already and people still believing in this tradition.. while i googled, alot of people have been saying that they regretted cutting their baby hair as they turn out not smooth, growing patch by patch and growing slow!!!! Because of this incident i had an argument with my husband and he’s angry saying im demanding/stubborn. Lol.

It’s best to discuss with hubby without others interfere with the decision making on your LO. The more people involve it will gets very messy and complicated... Discuss and decided nicely with your hubby. Cut or not it’s really up to you and your hubby. We didn’t cut our LO’s hair since birth and our girl’s hair grow up fine and long.. She was born with lots of hair so Hubby and myself can’t bear and didn’t wanna cut it. LO is 2y10m now.

Hi, Cutting the hair is not necessary until it is making the baby uncomfortable. It is completely dependent on the preference of parents. If you don't feel giving haircut to your LO, you should speak to your husband candidly on this

We brought them for hair cut in the first month and made as calligraphy brush.

Nope. Only trim the hair when it touches the eyes

Not necessary. Depends on the parents
