Hair loss

Hi all my almost 15 wo is shedding a lot of hair and his head looks quite patchy, is this normal? I use the child’s farm oat shampoo and conditioner wash it every two days and always finds it looks greasy by the second day. Is there anything I can do to help, or am o doing something wrong 🤔😩😩

Babies who are born with a lot of hair often lose it. It grows back, not always the same kind of hair though. Side note - you don't really need to wash it every day, if it is seeming greasy after the 2nd day it's because it's being stripped of natural protective oils every day and you're telling baby's body that it needs to increase the production of those natural oils to keep up. Washing hair every few days is enough.

My baby is 14 weeks and his hair is definitely patchy compared to his birth photos. And his hair is greasy within 12 hours of a bath and I’m only bathing him every 3ish days. I think it’s just from snuggling me and my husband says it’s because he’s Italian 😂

@Jennifer ahh really yes maybe the snuggles for me too then 🤣

It is normal! Babies aren’t not going to be semi bald eggs forever
