Hi. My son is 5 months old. From past couple of days approx. 20-25 days his head hairs are falling. When he was born his head was full of hair. But now his hair falling from sides nd center of the head. I noticed so many hairs on his pillow nd sheet. I need to know is this normal or he has some deficiency? I have not heard something like this earlier. I am very much worried about him. His head is now like bald head. Lil bit hairs are there.

Infants tend to lose hair at the sites of constant pressure. Give cushions under his head. However this condition is temporary and he will grow hairs normally. No need to worry. If the condition persists beyond 6 months consult a dermatologist.
