Relax: The baby hase a special thin type of hair which is destined to be lost and replaced in time with thicker hair. This is normal!

Normal.: Transient hair loss is very common in babies; it grows back according to family genetics - in some families babies are almost all bald till after their first birthday, in others they all look like dandelions by 6 months.
