Hi! I can understand your concern. Light brown hair is genetically acquired most of the time....it's most commonly seen in babies with fair complexion. It can occur due to micronutrient deficiency in very malnourished babies or in some metabolic diseases. I hope yr child is not having any other problems, so no need to worry for now.
