POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Hair loss in a 3-month-old baby boy can be normal and is often due to several factors:
Common Causes:
1. Telogen Effluvium: Babies may lose hair in patches as they transition from the hair they were born with to new hair.
2. Rubbing or Friction: If your baby rubs their head against surfaces (like a crib mattress), this can cause temporary hair loss.
3. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations after birth can also lead to temporary hair loss.
What to Do:
Gentle Care: Handle your baby’s hair gently and avoid tight hairstyles or excessive brushing.
Monitor: Keep an eye on the hair loss. If it seems excessive or if you notice bald patches or other symptoms, consult your pediatrician.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
If the hair loss continues beyond a few months, if there are signs of redness, irritation, or if your baby seems uncomfortable, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
