hair loss in babies

It is common for the hair that your baby was born with to fall off. This is due to the lowering of the level of pregnancy hormone previously present in his/her body. After the first “shed”, your baby’s hair will enter a new growth cycle. The hair that grows in this stage will be what your baby’s actual hair will be (and may likely appear different from the type he/she had when he/she was first born). The growth rate differs for every baby. For some, it may take up to two to three years to have a great head of hair.
