Hi,

My little girl was born with really thick hair and at about 16 weeks (3 weeks ago) it started to fall out. She's getting bald patches all over. There is heaps all over her bed sheets and when I empty her bath there is heaps in the water too. Is it normal for a baby to lose their hair so late? She was born 3.5 weeks premature but I can't imagine that would have a bearing would it? I wasn't worried until just before when my FIL asked if it was normal. I assumed it was but the way he asked made me worry.....you know how it is, being a first time mum, everything stresses you!! Any comments would be appreciated Thanks.
