This type of hair fall that you have observed is likely that of lanugo hair. Lanugo hair is soft thin hair that fetuses grow while they are in the mother’s womb. Lanugo generally vanishes between 36 and 40 weeks of gestations. If this hair is still on the baby after birth, they will usually be rubbed off naturally after two to four weeks or by the fourth month. After this, your baby’s hair will enter a new growth cycle. The hair that grows in this stage will be what your baby’s actual hair will be (and may likely appear different from the type he/she had when he/she was first born). The growth rate differs for every baby. For some, it may take up to two to three years to have a great head of hair.

All those newborn hairs reach the end of their growth cycle at the same time. So many new hairs are growing from underneath, and pushing the newborn hair out. After about first year of life, the hairs on our heads are all at different stages in the growth cycle, growing at different rates, so they don't all fall out at once. Hormones tell our hair when and how to grow, but newborns experience a hormone drop after they are born.

yes it is normal because your baby is always lying down and the head keeps getting into a lot of friction. hence it leads to hair fall. i would suggest that you comb your baby's hair everyday at least twice, and try to switch position through the day. also, take your baby out in the sun and massage the head regularly, as it improves blood circulation and may reduce hair fall and promote hair growth.

Hair loss in babies is normal - from a drop in hormones. http://www.babycenter.com/0_hair-loss-in-babies_85.bc Might having something to do with his sleeping position though --- if the problem is a bald spot, it might be from not turning his head when he sleeps.

Yes it is normal for babies to have their hair falling if you never shave their head during the first month according to old traditions. Mummy's hair will also start falling from the 4th month as well!

Thanks for mentioning the falling off of hair of mommy's too because right now, i am experiencing that,too! Together with my almost 4 month old baby

Newborn hair loss is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Babies often lose their hair during the first six months. This kind of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.

Yes it is normal for 4 month old babies to have hair fall - this is why they say to shave babies hair at 4 months.
