Is my baby's hair loss normal?

My daughter is almost 4 months old. She was born with a nice thick, full head of black, extra-curly hair, but for the past month or so, her hair has gradually been falling out in the back %26amp; on the sides--so that now it kinda looks like a patchy high-top fade or mohawk, lol. She doesn't lay on any one side more than usual, and I try to keep her hair from rubbing out too much by laying her under a piece of satin fabric.

Anywhoo, to the other moms--is this a common thing you've experienced w/ your babies? How long did it take for your baby's hair to grow back, and was it a different texture/thickness? Thanks!

Is my baby's hair loss normal?

YES!!!! =) It is common for babies to lose their hair during the first six months of life. This is because hair alternates between two stages鈥攁 growing stage and a resting stage. In newborns all of the hair follicles reach the resting stage at the same time, causing them to fall out in bunches. This is nothing to worry about, however, as the fallen follicles will soon be replaced by thicker, often darker hair.

I have to say by law that I am not a doctor and you should always see one even when you are feeling healthy, but I have heard that propecia ( which is a hair loss deformity,) can be treated That is " IF THIS THE PROLEM!) Also there is a DNA problem called Progeria. This is a DNA prblem that causes people to age at an alarming rate. A 10 year old can have the body of a 60 year old and those aflicted will seldom see the age of 20. AS I stated before I am not a doctor and I beg you see a physician ! PLEASE!

The hairs gonna fall out. When she gets up and starts moving around more it'll grow back in. FYI make sure she doesn't have cradle cap on top or you could end up with a lot less on her head. My son rubbed his off the back and than got cradle cap and when you get that stuff off itll thin the hair out too.

Is my baby's hair loss normal?

Most of the newborn hair will fall out and be replaced -- and the color of the new hair may be quite different. Many infants who sleep on their backs will develop a temporary bald spot on the back of the head. Later, hair loss can occur at any time during childhood because of the infant rubbing against the end of the crib, by pulling at the hair, or by having it pulled too tightly into ponytails or braids. Spot balding may result from the child being emotionally upset. Severe illness can cause baldness.

Hair loss oftens corrects itself, so treatment may not be recommended.

Yes it is normal. When my daughter was born she had a head full of hair but over time it started thinning out. She was bald at about 6 months but when it was time for her 9 month pictures she already had alot of hair. So give or take a few months your daughter will have black curly hair back.

When my daughter was between 3 and 4 months old she lost her hair too. It was strawberry blonde and thick. Now that she is 7 months old her hair is getting longer/thicker but it has come back finer and straighter. It is also coming back blonde, not the strawberry blonde that it was. She has lost her red tint :( LOL. I am a red head and had hoped that my daughter would be too. Now she has the hair color of her grandmother that passed away two weeks before she was conceived.

Is my baby's hair loss normal?

Yes all my babys lost thier hair. They all had dark hair and then lost it. It started out in the back and sides like yours. It is because that is how they lay down. Just part of being a baby. it toook awhile to grow back in, but they all had blonde hair afterwards. But each baby is different.

Is my baby's hair loss normal?

It's totally normal. Most babies lose a good amount of the hair that they grow in utero. Some of it fluffs off like dead skin and some rubs off too. My youngest is almost 4 months old (8/10/06) and she has a little bald spot in the back of her head too. Each of my 4 girls had this happen, some more than others. My oldest is the only one who's color completely changed. She was born with dark brown straight hair and it changed in the 1st several months to light brown - blonde and really curly. It all depends on the parents and genes involved. I'm sure she's totally adorable though!
