It's huge and so grey it's silver!!!! I don't think he's stressed out. All he does is play all day & I make sure he eats right and gets the proper amount of vitamins and stuff every day. We go outside when it's not too hot (we're in Florida) & go for walks. We try to make sure he socializes often and gets a variety of environments to be exposed to.
Is this something I have to worry about?

I'd appreciate it if you people would quit being retarded. I'm asking a serious question and I don't like the way some people think they know everything about my son. HE DOESN'T HAVE BLOND HAIR AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE IN MY OR MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY!!!!! Neither myself nor my son is stupid or retarded. He is perfectly normal and doesn't have any defects or mental problems.

Have you had him tested (mental competency)? I've read about a type of retardation that causes patches of grey hair.
Waardenburg syndrome

Ask your pediatrician.

There is an old wives tale that says babies with grey hair are destined to have good luck throughout their lives. Don't stress over it - think of him as being special and gifted. I'm a black chick and I have a blonde streak down the back of my hair like lightning - my mom said she cursed out a woman with blonde hair in a grocery store while she was pregnant with me and she thinks she marked me by putting her hand on her stomach - don't know how true it is though. But I love my "birthmark" I think of it as my natural highlights!

my daughter, now 2 1/2, had a one grey strand of hair when she was about 1. At first I thought I was seeing things so I asked her father if he saw it and he did. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I don't see it anymore on her, so I don't know if she has more hair covering it or if it finally got some color. I wouldn't worry if I were you unless all of his hair starts turning grey.

My son is 16 mos old and has a gray hair on each side of his head and one in the front.It's fine....I don't really have an answer either, but it could be either of 2 things.. t it could be genetic or he willl be a genius or both.I hope the latter is true of my son.But don't ALL parents think their kids are geniuses?No need to worry.

it might be that he's developing a grey spot in his hair, almost like a birthmark. i knew of a boy who had a patch of grey hair at the age of 4. it's not uncommon at all, and it has nothing to do with stress levels. it's totally normal. it might even be a conversation starter when he gets older!
embrace it, and if it is a birthmark, help him to accept it (kids are gonna ask questions when he gets to school because they're curious about it).

Chances are one of his regular hairs got pulled out - i've heard that if you pull out a coloured hair - a white one grows in its place - i dont think its anything to worry about it - it may even be genetic - i've always had a few white hairs..and orange ones..and a couple of blonde ones...but if you're worried see a doctor - it could be a defficiency of some sort in his diet - some of my white hairs even faded over time - i think its perfectly normal - its only hair afterall - i'd be worried if it was falling out.

Your son is a Platinum blond. Both my brothers are and they are only 13 and 5. Plus the sun naturally bleaches hair.

It's ok. I found my first grey hair when I was like... 7 or something. And my mother had NOTICEABLE grey hair when she was 16. I don't think it really matters. But if you're too worried you might as well consult a doctor.

Don't worry. Some people just have grey hair. Someone I knew in third through sixth grade had grey hair. He was in the gifted classes with me.

It's just a grey hair. It's just a hair that's not getting the chemical that gives you hair color. I think it's kinda cute and would leave it but you can cut it off. It will grow back.
