Answer 1

ur daughter is a freak!!!!!

Answer 2

Yes - my daughter had NO HAIR until she was 3. Then it sprouted out like a chia pet - seriously. Don't have any worries and don't listen to what people say. As long as your doctor says there's no problem (no vitamin deficiency or whatever) - then it's just genetics and we can't help it.

On the bright side, while I was going through all that, I often heard that no hair early in life means they will look younger and age more slowly than everyone else as well - so I think it's a blessing in the long run.

But it's funny that people don't pay attention to clothes or anything - my other daughter is 4 months and has no hair - and they always say "how old is HE?". Yeah - pink tights, pink dress, pink fingernails, "Yeah, SHE is 4 months."

Silly people. Don't worry - it will be all good. ; )

Answer 3

My neice at 3 had some hair but not much on the sides, it looked like a mullet and my cousins daughter had hardly any on the top and sides, dont worry, by 3 1/2 4 it started growing and by 5 they had normal little girl hair. People are so rude, no matter what they will find something to rag about.

Answer 4

My daughter's hair didn't really start growing until she was almost 2 and even then she had hardly any hair. Now she's 3 years old and her hair in the back goes down past her shoulders and on the side goes down to her chin so nobody asks me if she's a boy anymore. My son just turned 1 on April 7 and he has as more hair now then my daughter had when she was 2. I guess every baby is different.

Answer 5

Not personally but my Bf's step brother has a daughter who is nearly 2 and she is exactly the same. Hardly any hair bless her. I haven't heard anyone call her a boy though.
Personally I think it is totally rude! It might be more understandable if you dressed her in boys clothes, but do they really think that you would dress your little boy in a princess dress! Come on! Some people must be so thick! Sorry I can't really help with what to say, just don't let them make you feel bad or awkward in any way. She will show them all when she gets a bit older and has beautiful, shiny, flowing hair!

Answer 6

I don't have any kids but when I worked in a daycare I remember this one little girl. She had BRIGHT blonde hair, very pale skin and she didn't have a lot of hair. She was 3 years old, went to the pre-school room with still hardly any hair. It's been about a year now and I saw her again and that girl has got some thick hair now! It'll just take some time for your daughter I guess. good luck!

Answer 7

My daughter did not have much hair until she turned 2. Your daughter's hair will grow don't worry. But I know what you mean about people asking if you have a boy. I have twin girls and one of my daughters always has had a lot of hair and my one daughter hardly had any and she would be in the most girly outfit and people would ask me do you have boy/girl twins? I really never realized how dumb people can be. But don't worry soon enough she will get hair, it is just taking its time in growing.

Answer 8

my friends daughter's hair is that way is well I am pretty sure she is got to be going on 2 now and while her brothers daughters didn't have that problem so I am guessing it came from her husbands side of the family, but they do have an older daughter and her hair is just fine, so it will grow in eventually, if you want though take you child to the doctors and ask why, it might be a vitamin definciency,as far as what you say to these people tell them to mind their own damn buisness, it's not their head it is not their hair and nor is it their own childs head they need to concern themselves with other things

Answer 9

When my daughter was the same age she had the exact same thing going on. Everyone thought she was a boy and so on. But her hair grew out when she was about 4-5 and now she has so much hair that everyone gives her compliments on her natural curls. Just be patient, it'll grow long and beautiful!! Don't worry about it so much, put your energy into other things and you'll see, she'll have a full head of hair before you know it....

Answer 10

One of my neices had very sparse hair for the longest time- in fact my sister in law was convinced she'd need to buy the poor kid a wig to begin kindergarten. But no- evenutally her hair filled in just fine, and now she has a nice thick head of hair. She's blonde, and from my observations, toddlers with fair hair seem to have less hair than kids with darker hair- tho it could just be the contrast that makes the darker hair seem to have more volume.
People who would comment on a small child's appearance, especially in a negative way, are dense and dim witted, and it's not worth responding to, although I understand your frustration. If anything, I'd just flash them a mega-watt smile and just offer a simple, "she's fine, no problem!"

Answer 11

hi. i've got faith that the ideal thank you to get your son to consume is to make the presentation exciting. I actually have a three 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old daughter and he or she is the comparable way. She loves finger ingredients and issues she will administration to make her experience like a huge female. whilst feeding her some thing new or some thing that i choose her to objective, I organize the nutrition in smiley faces, stars, shapes in particular. I additionally observed that now that she has her very own silverware together with her sought after characters on it, she would be waiting to consume. She is rather excited to consume as a results of fact she desires to apply her utensils. additionally, i desire to propose no longer giving in to him precise away. I do think of that his sought after issues would be utilized as a take care of for him after he has eaten what you pick him to consume. Use opposite psychology and tell him that he could have his barren area as quickly as he's a substantial boy and eats a minimum of 0.5 of his nutrition. enable him comprehend that treats are in simple terms that and that he desires to be a healthful solid boy so as that he can play and function exciting. If that would not artwork, I reccomend attempting to get him to help with cooking the nutrition in little approaches. he gets exhilaration from each and every of the difficult artwork he positioned into cooking his nutrition. solid success and function an magnificent day.
