A member asked:

What are doctors opinions about bald babies and what it means?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually OK: There is much variation in the amount of hair a baby will have and it does not have any correlation with how much hair they will wind up having on their head. Most bald babies eventually start growing hair on their heads. There are a few genetic conditions where no hair ever grows, but these are quite rare.
