The baby’s white hair surprised both the mother and doctors. Bence, the baby with white hair, was 21 inches tall and weighed 12 lbs. Doctors performed a blood test to determine the reason for Bence’s white hair.
The blood test
Doctors believed that white hair was caused by melanin levels being lower. However, doctors believe it could be an indication of prenatal stress. Studies show that babies are more likely to experience stress and anxiety if their mother was stressed during pregnancy. Anxiety and stress can also cause low birth weight, premature birth, and increased chances of infection and allergies.
The white-haired baby became very popular
The baby was loved by everyone at the hospital and he was named Prince Charming. The Internet went wild after a video of him with his white hair.
Many believed that albinism was the reason for the baby’s white hair. This rare genetic condition is caused by a lower level of melanin. This may lead to the hair and skin becoming lighter in color.
Doctors believe that white hair in babies born prematurely can be linked to genetics. This condition can also be caused by a lack of vitamin B12 or mutant hair cells.
Although the reason for the baby’s white hair is not known, blood tests revealed that the baby was healthy. They are waiting to see if the baby’s hair begins to darken as they grow up. Doctors believe that melanin levels will rise as the baby gets older and white hair will begin to turn darker.
