Bald spot
Is anybody's baby getting a bald spot in the back of their head? My baby is getting a bald strip across the back. I'm so sad about it lol. I read it could be from being on their back to much or that from moving their head back and forth causes it to rub off. I think it's because he's always moving his head now and it rubs against whatever he's sitting / laying in. He sleeps on his side at night and on his stomach on my chest so it's not like he's on his back all night. The back of his head also doesn't touch anything while he nurses. But he's moving his head a lot now while he's in his swing and he's constantly rolling over so maybe going back to front rubs some off too. Idk. Is there anything I can do?? I just don't want it to get bigger.
It's totally normal. Madeline has it too - you can tell which side she prefers.
This hair will grown back as most of it is the first hair - very fragile. Once the "good" hair comes in it will be harder to break.
Some kids are luck in the fall out equals growth so it's not that noticeable. We weren't so lucky. Madeline has currently bald streak in the back and male pattern baldness on top. Charming ;)
