When did your newborn lose his/her hair?

epphd · January 2010

Sam's hair is falling out!! He looks like a balding old man - it's kind of funny Smile Does it seem early for him to be losing it? I think there might be some new growth coming in, but I worry that he'll be a cue ball for a long time and he looks so cute with hair!

And by the way, he's making little cooing noises lately and it's SO CUTE! OK, had to brag

Nolan did around a month. Lincoln may not. His is getting thicker

I don't think Garrison really lost hers until about 8 weeks but I'm not sure that there is such a thing as too early. Most of them lose it at one time or another. Unfortunately, I've got a little baldy myself and suffer from serious hair envy when I look at some of the babies on this board (psyched for baby, Gypsy Esq, yeah-- I'm talkin' to you! ; )

Shannie - yes! Sam needs pro-activ right now

But it will pass - I guess he's just hormonal - hah!

Miles was sporting the Dr. Phil look around 6-8 weeks. I don't remember exactly when it started to fall out...but that was when it was mostly gone. :-)

Heh Smile sorry. DD does have a bit of thinning at the back of her head. Where she rubs her head back and forth. But she never really lost it. I have a photo though of her dad at 2 weeks old -- if you can believe it he had tons more hair than her.

Audrey lost hers at about a month.. Oh boy and the baby acne with her was fierce!! I thought it would never get better, but it did and she is soo lovely now

if it makes you feel better, a friend told me that the male pattern baldness look indicates that the little one will have a thick head of hair

Audrey and Joey both had it, and Ronnie didn't.. I'm afraid he's gonna have my icky fine hair

Sounds like Sam's pretty normal. My guy didn't ever lose all of it, but he had a very sparse phase...for him, at least. I think he was thinnest at around 3 months. Everyone commented on how much hair he had all along, but now when I look back at the pictures I can't believe he was so bald!

Incidentally, I always assumed I'd have a baldy and kind of thought hairy babes looked silly, but since I had a kid with hair, now the bald ones seem strange to me!
