Shaving baby’s hair

Hi. Is it a must to shave baby’s head at least once? My in-laws have been nagging to shave it since birth. My son is 15m now, and they still wont let go. They keep telling me shaving is good for the baby. The hair will be even and thicker. Tbh, that doesnt matters to me. And so they changed their statement now. Now they tell me my son cant go into the temple if he doesnt shave. I told them me and my siblings did not shave as well. Why do they insist on shaving it?

Not a must. But no harm to shave too. Doesn't mean you let your baby shave mean give in to in laws. Take it easy. Baby is still yours.

Just go barber and cut short hair. Then tell in laws cut already and hair growth for baby is super fast

It’s really up to u .. not necessary but we hv done our babies hair almost 3times in his 3yrs

For me its because of all the blood during birth and wants the baby to have new hair

Never shave mine. Just cut a little at the sides and back for the 'tradition'

i think its not necessary..purely personal preference

Not a must. Shave to let the hair grow more evenly

Never shave my girl's hair. Now she's 27mths old.
