Thinning of newborn hair - is my baby normal?

[BrightSparkles]

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

Totally totally normal. Both my babies were born with REALLY dark thick hair. Both of them had it fall out at about four months old (which I thought was weird because everyone said it usually happens really early!). Now DD1 has REALLY thick blonde hair and DD2 has really thick brown hair. DD1 went totally bald and it had all grown back and needed a hair cut by 12 months! Congratulations on your beautiful little girl

Yes, very, very normal. All of my children have lost a lot of hair after they werre born. They were all born dark - one has stayed dark, the others have turned blonde.
