Asking for a friend who's very concerned that her 1 month old daughter is quite hairy. Are there any home remedies you could use to reduce hair growth on the face, arms and legs?

The hair that your friend observed could be lanugo hair. Lanugo hair is soft thin hair that fetuses grow while they are in the mother’s womb. Lanugo generally vanishes between 36 and 40 weeks of gestations. If this hair is still on the baby after birth, they will usually be rubbed off naturally after two to four weeks or by the fourth month (at the latest). Hence, it is better to leave the hair to fall off by itself. http://www.livestrong.com/article/202276-how-to-remove-lots-of-hair-on-a-newborn-baby/ Your friend should consult her doctor before trying any home treatments.
