A. Severe hair fall in a 3-month-old baby can be concerning, but it’s often due to normal developmental changes. Here are some common reasons: 1. Telogen Effluvium: This is a temporary condition where babies may lose hair due to hormonal changes after birth. It often resolves on its own. 2. Friction: Hair may thin due to friction from lying on their back, especially if the baby spends a lot of time in one position. 3. Health Issues: While less common, hair loss can sometimes be associated with underlying health issues such as fungal infections (like cradle cap) or nutritional deficiencies. 4. Normal Shedding: It's normal for babies to shed some hair as their hair follicles transition from the newborn stage to permanent hair. What to Do: Monitor Hair Growth: Keep an eye on hair regrowth. Most babies will start to grow hair back within a few months. Gentle Care: Avoid tight hairstyles and minimize friction by varying your baby's position. Consult a Pediatrician: If the hair loss is significant or accompanied by other symptoms (like redness, irritation, or changes in skin), consult your pediatrician for advice. In most cases, hair loss in infants is temporary and resolves naturally.
