MY SON IS 5 MONTHS......?

Question

why is his hair shedding so bad. its not because he sleeps on his back because he doesnt (sleeps on side since he was born)..........why?

Answer 1

it happens, my son had lost his hair and grew back 4 times before he was one years old and after that it finally grew back thick enough to stay in.  

Answer 2

Most babies go through this.My son was practically bald and it started to grow in around 7- months.Don't worry about it.

Answer 3

Mine is the same age and going through the same thing. I can see the hair on his blanket in the morning... too sad bye bye cute little hairs...

BUT like everyone said - it is natural and will grow back.

Mine is losing it all around the sides but not on top so it looks like he has a curly afro... haha...  

Answer 4

It is normal for babies to shed there first "down hair"  Lots of babies will be born with a head of hair..... only have it all shed out..... and then be replaced by true hair.  It will grow back in.... and quite possibly even a different color.  Its totally normal and not much you can do about it.  BUT...... if you notice any sort of dermatitisis on the scalp.... then it would probably be a good idea to check with you doctor.  

Answer 5

it just happens.....sometimes the old hair falls out and new hair grows in.  My oldest son was born with a head full of dark brown hair, it fell out and came back blond.

Answer 6

My daughters hair fell out a lot.  Her hairline looked like that of a balding middle aged man, and she had a bald spot on the back and sides of her head.  She slept on her side a lot too, but her hair still fell out.  Its normal...just one of those strange infant things.  Her hair will grow back.  My daughter's hair started growing back a few months after she lost it and now her hair has totally grown back.

Answer 7

Babies lose their "baby" hair and grow "permanent" hair right after it! Just like teeth!

Answer 8

It is very normal for babies to lose their hair. It will grow back don't worry.
