Daily Health Tips: Help! My Baby Is Losing All Her Hair!


Q: Doctor, I am a little worried about my daughter’s hair. She’s 2months + and was born very hairy, but now all her hair seems to be pulling out. Please, what can I use to stop this because I’m really worried? Thank you so much and have a great day.

 

A: Within the first 6 months of life, a baby may lose quite a bit of hair due mainly to a reduction in certain hormone levels. In fact, some lose quite a lot of hair and when it grows back, it has a different texture and sometimes even colour! If your baby also has a specific way of lying down, perhaps on her back, you may notice thinning of the hair in that area. So, do not worry! Where in doubt, however, please see your doctor who will take a look and confirm whether you have something to worry about.

Have a fabulous day!

    • Hello Mirabel, Your doctor who knows your medical history is in the best position to advise you. Generally though, there’s no cause for concern. The two events: your pregnancy and your other baby’s breastfeeding can co-exist. However, you may look at stopping as your baby turns one year. It may also be a good idea to give some more space between subsequent children if you choose to have more. All the best!
