Baby hair loss?
in Baby
Our twins are now 4 weeks old and doing really well feeding, sleeping etc despite wingy times are angels!
When they were born both had some hair all over their heads which was blonde/brown, this has remained the same for Jack, but i noticed today that Poppy seems to have lost most of her hair on the top near her forehead and the skin is really dry?
Is this normal, i would have expected to have loss around the back as they rub their heads when laying down etc but not on top?!
We're not washing her hair that much really, they have a bath every other night and are top and tailed the rest. I don't really use shampoo unless her hair at the back is sicky or her brother has been sucking her head which makes it patted.
Any advice? It'll grow back right?

Rub some baby oil/olive oil on her scalp that will help it to not get so dry.

The baby acne only lasted a couple of weeks but the hair continued to fall out. I would find it all in his crib He has been totally bald for months but in the last 2 weeks his hair has grown back and really quickly...now back to blonde tufts...phew!
I used to use baby oil on his scalp and wash his (non-existant) hair every night to try and prevent cradle cap.
Will do the baby oil as suggested as have just been using johnson moisturising cream.
Thanks ladies.

DD had loads of black hair when she was born despite being 8 weeks early, when she was about 3 months she started to lose it all apart from a patch at the top. now its really long and curly at the back and it is blondey.
so sweet that jack sucks poppys head. baby oil is also great if they start to scratch their heads as their fingers just slip off
