POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hair loss in babies can be normal or a sign of an underlying issue, depending on the circumstances:
1. **Normal Hair Loss**: It's common for babies to lose hair in the first few months of life. This often happens because they shed the fine hair they were born with, which is then replaced by new hair. This process is known as "telogen effluvium" and is usually temporary.
2. **Friction Hair Loss**: Hair loss on the back of the head is common due to friction from lying on their back. This typically resolves as the baby starts to move more and spends less time lying down.
3. **Health Issues**: If the hair loss is accompanied by other symptoms such as rashes, unusual changes in skin, or if the hair loss is widespread, it could be a sign of conditions such as eczema, fungal infections, or other medical issues.
4. **Nutritional Deficiencies**: Ensure the baby is getting a balanced diet appropriate for their age, as deficiencies can sometimes affect hair growth.
If you’re concerned about the extent or pattern of hair loss, or if it persists beyond the first year, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out any potential underlying conditions.
