Should I be concerned about my newborn's body hair?

It is completely normal for newborns to have excess body hair, often referred to as lanugo. This hair serves a purpose by helping the baby regulate their body temperature, and it will naturally shed and fall off on its own over time. Avoid using abrasive methods like natural powders or scrubs, as these can damage a newborn's sensitive skin; patience is the best approach.
