my baby boy is nealry 5 months old. when he was born he had loads of very dark brown hair. as the months have gone by, his hair has lightened a great deal and began to come out. i know that babies do get a bald patch from where they lie down, but this is patches all over his head. they are not sore, just bald. is this normal? and is it possible he is set to be blonde even tho he was born dark?

My 5 half of month historic son's hair is doing the samething, I located some in his crib. But he's now not totaly bald it can be like a buzz reduce however except for the highest front he still has a patch of curly hair left lol. He was once born with a full head of dark brown hair. The hair is growing again in however slightly lighter - sandy blonde. However you'll find your dr if you want peace of intellect but i suppose it is the new hair growing in. I shall be seeing my dr soon for his 6 month app so i am asking him too. I'm hoping this helps! :)

Yes, this is very normal. Babies usually have bald patches on the back of the head where the head is in contact with the bed. My son had a baldy spot all around the head too since he tosses his head back and forth. The hair will start growing back soon enough.

My son is six months old and was born with lots of dark hair, after he had a bit of cradle cap at around 4 months, his hair started to fall out in patchy clumps (which I found rather upsetting). He now has a thick head of blond hair. I have asked my health visitor about it in the past and was told that babies hair often falls out and then regrows to a different colour, so don't worry about the colour change or hair loss. I'm sure that your baby will grow a beautiful head of hair soon enough.

My five one million/two month ancient son's hair is doing the samething, I determined a few in his crib. But he isn't totaly bald it is like a buzz reduce however besides for the highest entrance he nonetheless has a patch of curly hair left lol. He was once born with a whole head of darkish brown hair. The hair is developing again in however a little lighter - sandy blonde. But you'll see your dr for those who desire peace of brain however i believe it's the new hair developing in. I will probably be seeing my dr quickly for his 6 month app so i'm asking him too. I wish this is helping! :)

My son is 6 months and has patches around his head where his hair has come out, I checked with my health visitor and she said that it is normal.
As for colour change, that is normal too. My niece was born with jet black hair and now at the age of 7 has blonde hair.

As long as the scalp looks healthy and the shaft of hair then this is a normal part of a babies development. The lost hair will be replaced and it may even be a different color. Get baby checked ou if the scalp or hair shaft looks in poor quality in case of various treatable diseases.
I work with babies for a living and this question comes up frequently x

It is absolutely normal. Sometimes you see babies with a bald patch at the back of their head which is caused with them lying down and just rubs out. The hair is just very fine and thin to start with. He will soon grow it all back again. If you are concerned at all have a word with your health visitor.

nothing to worry about. neither is the little bald patch, that babies get on the back of their heads. one of my boys (now 24), was born with masses of of dark hair, it fell out, he had lovely blonde hair ( the colour we pay a fotune for) at the age of 3. he now has lovely dark hair. think its just changes little ones go through

Oh yes, it's quite normal. Lots of babies are born with one hair colour only to have it fall out and grow back in a completely different one. One of my cousins was born with white blonde hair- now it's black.

yes it is normal for a baby's hair to fall out, its happened to all my children and grandchildren, and the hair does return back long and healthy. if you are quite worried go and see your health visitor. i had a friend and her daughter was born with loads of brown hair, and after a few months it went blonde. the daughter is 14 now and still blonde.
