A member asked:

How do i get my babies hair to stop thinning . and falling out?? even though its normal what is a way i can make it not happen.!! help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair loss in infant: It is normal for babies to lose some or all of their hair, and this is not safely preventable unless another underlying cause (such as severe seborrhea capitus or fungal infections) is present and not addressed. Hair growth returns in a few weeks to months, not to worry.
