baby hair loss :(

My fuzzy little one (Lucas) is suddenly losing his hair...He seriously looks like a tiny Friar Tuck! Is that normal? I've never had a baby lose hair before. It couldn't have anything to do with the whole bfing extravaganza could it....please tell me I'm being ridiculous.

    DS was born a brunette... then lost ALL his hair (gradually) and became a platinum blonde... I thought it was strange, but it was the same for all of my cousins' kids too :)

    this happened with my DS too. lots of dark curly hair at birth and now he has a lot of straight blond hair! he was mostly bald for awhile in the middle.

    Ok, I feel better then. I'm sad though. I really loved his fuzzy little head. Every time I rub his head my hand is covered in hair and when he gets out of the tummy tub, the surface of the water has tons of hair floating on it.

    Happened with both of mine too.  With C, it was the same way - it would be all over the place.  With J, it wasn't as readily noticeable.

    My babies are bald, but I've heard that it's normal :)

    #1 looked like he had male-pattern baldness.  He lost all the hair on the top of his head, lol. 

    #2 lost all his hair too and then the top grew in long, and the back took a while to grow back.

    DS #3 diagnosed at birth with panhypopituitarism - lack of pituitary function. He is treated with thyroxine, hydrocortisone, growth hormone and testosterone.

    I thought almost all babies lost their newborn hair! Bruce's dark hair all fell out and was replaced with blonde fluff. First it was the back where he laid - the normal baby bald spot - and then it sort of went in patches around his head.... definitely nothing to do with your nursing issues.

    It has nothing to do with the bfing,  my LO and I started losing our hair at the same time I would say at about 3 months.  It is very normal for babies to lose hair early on.  It will grow back but it is hard to see I know.  For a few days there was a lot of hair in DDs crib and on her change padCrying
