I’ve noticed over the last week or so that Baby A is developing an area at the back of his head which has a distinct lack of
hair. Erm….I would go so far as to say he is looking like he’s going bald. Hey, he hasn’t inherited that from me – I have a full head of hair!
I notice that my father-in-law is balding, so it makes you wonder….
Apparently this bald patch is quite common for babies and tends to disappear after a few months. My theory is that his head is getting bigger obviously there would be no hair in the places his skin stretches! The more common reason appears to be that his head rubs against things and the hair falls off over there (although my son sleeps on his side, so don’t quite get it).
PS his hair has been growing back quite nicely otherwise. And no, this is not an April’s Fool joke – that is a real photo!
