Is hairfall normal amongst toddlers?

As mentioned by Hui Qun, it is normal for a toddler to lose 40-100 strands of hair daily. However, isolated bald spots can be both frustrating and potentially a health issue. If your child wears barrettes in her hair or has a ponytail or braid on daily, there is a possibility the hair is being pulled too tight to the point of hair loss in certain areas. If your toddler complains or is regularly touching an area, then the item is too tight and needs to be removed. Poor nutrition can also cause hair loss and thinning. Toddlers need adequate protein intake in order to restore hair growth. Meats, eggs and peanut butter are great sources of protein.
