Thinning of newborn hair - is my baby normal?

[Trillian]

It's completely normal for that to happen hun. My first baby had a head full or dark brown hair and by 6 weeks he'd worn a ring around his head LOL. Their hair will change a lot over the next two years. I've seen kids born dark, go light and go back to dark again. I've seen some babies that are born with dark hair end up being a dark blonde.

totally normal!
DD1 was born with thick strawberry blonde hair, it all fell out and it took till she was about 18months to grow the the length it was when she was born!
DD2 was born with very fine blonde hair, she now has an old man hairdo, bald at the back and sides, with whispy bits ontop!!

Yep - normal
DD was born with a full head of black hair - as it feel out it turned to strawberry blonde and is now a white blonde.

Yep, both my kids had their thick jet black hair totally fall out within weeks.
DD didn't get any real hair until 12months, but DS' replaced really quick.

Your little one has such a pretty name, but can I ask how do you pronounce it? I'm sure I am probably saying it wrong to myself LOL

Hey,

Thanks! I thought it was pretty too

You pronounce it Lee-See, Mee-ah.

Its a Finnish Name, Liisi is the pet name of Elizabet, my Mothers side of the family is Finnish so I wanted my daughter to have a Fin name
