Answer 2

I am not sure where you received your education, but your spelling needs a bit of attention.  Yahoo!Answers makes it so easy because they pop up with a message that you've made a spelling error and give you the chance to use Spell Checker.  You have probably not been around many newborns, but bald babies are quite normal.  I am mom to 4 and 2 of mine were as bald as could be and I was bald as a baby as well.  My middle daughter didn't have much more than peach fuzz develop about 6 months old and no hair of any real consequence until well after a year old.  I have a niece who had no hair for 2 years - many people thought she was a cancer patient and had lost her hair due to treatments, but it just didn't grow.  She never had a hair cut until after she went to school.  Other babies are born with a beautiful head of hair but then it falls out.  That is normal, too.  Your son's doctors are not lying to you, not all babies are born with hair.

Answer 5

I'd have to say to trust the doctors for now. Normally what little hair (if any) babies are born with rubs off within the first few weeks of life and they have just downy fuzz. Not even hair really. It really depends on how recently you had him and if theres any fuzz at all on his head. I wouldn't really go jumping to conclusions but if you really are worried I'd say to go to another doctor and get a second opinion. At least hes a boy though. Just think if it had been a girl born without hair? I wish you the best!
