Baby balding

Anyone else’s baby currently shedding their hair? My baby came out with a full head of hair and is currently shedding it all as his hair becomes curlier and curlier.

Yes mine is x

@Mila that’s reassuring 😁

Silk bedsheets or satin and everywhere u put him to laying down always need to be with a satin! Dnt use shampoo for the first 6 months use only conditioner

I have mine sleeping on a silk scarf and hoping the back bald spot will grow in too.

Yep my girl has lost a lot of hair :(

All babies lose the hair they are born with - totally normal! It will grow back :)

@Someone’s Mom u can use satin is more affordable I will send u the link the one that I used

@Siân not all babies if you preventing when u come home from the hospital!

@Anna he had cradle cap so I used the gentle rubber brush n shampoo and after that I noticed the shedding the following week. 🫣

@Siân yes I was told this. I’ve been really careful to make sure he’s having the opportunity to lay on both sides but it seems there’s nothing I can do to stop the shedding currently. Luckily it’s just aesthetic so it doesn’t bother my baby at all.

@Lexi cute baby hairs x

@Tumi could be a reaction of the shampoo too harsh maybe!! I notice that not having water softener is one of the major cause of cradle cap! Even my baby has that now but my daughter di not cause I was using filter before I moved house! Will come back definitely don’t worry about that

My LOs have all had this - hair thinned and fell out then grew back with no probs so please don't worry - think it's a hormonal thing xx

@Anna it's due to hormone changes so nothing you do will prevent it. It's exactly the same as post partum hair loss in mum

@Siân every baby is different some may loose some not!!

@Anna absolutely, but if they are biologically inclined to lose it, there's nothing anyone can do to prevent that...

@Christina thank you x

@Siân I noticed he lost his same time I’ve lost my hair so maybe I’m making hormones that are passing through to him through my milk 🤔

@Tee oo, that's interesting! My baby lost her hair really quickly and is still a little baldy at 6 months 🤣 I started to lose mine around 3.5/4 months pp and is just starting to slow down.
