Child hair thinning: There are a variety of underlying conditions that can cause thinning of the hair and hair loss in a 12 month old. All of them must be checked for by a Dr. They include: Nutritional deficiencies (esp Vit H, B and zinc), over consumption of vitamin A, Endocrine problems (hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes) and occasionally, a fungal infection.
