Baby hair

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. So angry

We shaved our babygirl’s head on the 7th day after she was born as part of the traditional custom. I regretted cause now her hair is growing very slowly (and rather thin) & there’s a patch. She used to have very thick black hair! Lazy to argue with husband/his family, so I gave in. My sister however, didn’t do it for her 2 daughters. She was adamant to the idea of shaving off all their beautiful locks. All is good in the end. So it’s really up to you.

I didn’t want to cut. But my fil and my husb insist on doing it. As i know when u shave it baby hair will not be smooth and when it grow back eventually will be slow... they purely believe in the tradition rather than the facts.
