Hairrry baby boy

Hey,
I have a nearly 1 year old boy and recently a few people have commented on his moustache, forehead hair and unibrow.

It is very prominent alot of forehead hair which then merges into unibrow. And his moustache is really noticeable.

im worried he will get bullied as i did for being hairy.

what can i do?

ps he literally has no body hair otherwise.

I would say, wait and see what happens. He's not going to get bullied for a while and it may become less noticeable or even disappear as he gets older.
Children tend to just accept differences in appearance or not even notice them.

Babies are often quite hairy (it's called lanugo) but should drop out in the first few months of their life.
It's probably just a bit late for your baby but chat with your HV if you're concerned.

Is this real? How can you say this about a baby? Getting troll vibes.

Doesn't seem troll like to me? Seems like a perfectly legitimate situation and a mum/dad asking for support.

Has he got light skin and dark hair? Maybe it's more noticeable. But if you massage baby oil very gently everyday it should fall off when you give him a bath or clean him with cotton wool and water. It probably will get lighter and unnoticeable (not visible as you can see now) as he gets older. If you feel anxious and insecure about it then you're going to make you're baby feel about it. Embrace it. I wouldn't call peach fuzz a moustache.
