A. Hair loss in babies is very common and because of many reasons. Because of the withdrawal maternal hormone initial hairfall is there. After birth all the hair of the baby remain in the resting phase and usually by 8 to 12 weeks of age shedding of hairs is there . Hairs will grow back mostly by 3-7 months but a proper quality hair will be there by around 2 ycears of age. Cradle cap is also a cause for frequent shedding of dhairs. along with traction alopecia because of continuous pressure on head in lying position

A. But It is never said no to use hair oil if your doctor has advised you there has to be some particular reason behind it and also if you are saying that the hell what is not proper order a ball patches when it’s better that you consult your doctor once again they will give you a better clarity and advise on that
