It’s been an exhausting nine-and-then-some-that-nobody-really-tells-you-about months, but the day is finally here. You push, shout, and cry, but finally – finally – meet your gorgeous baby…cue ball. Before you begin imagining yourself placing your baby on a life-long Rogaine regimen, you should calm down new mommy, because this is totally normal.
The reason? Telogen Effluvium, or to put it simply, a change in the normal hair cycle due to a variety of causes, like hormone changes or childbirth (yes, baby momma, this can happen to you too!). Essentially, this means that your baby has two phases of hair growth before they can even muster the strength to roll their tiny little bodies over.
While your mini-Michael-Jordan was marinating in your tummy, your baby was receiving a large amount of your hormones. Now that the umbilical cord has been cut, his or her hormone levels begin to drop, causing the resting phase of hair growth, the precursor to hair loss (these pesky hormones are also the reason why you may notice some hair loss after giving birth). So, if your baby was born bald, then the first growth has already fallen out.
The cure? Time. Within six months, your baby is going to show signs of having a luscious head of hair, I swear. On the bright side – there is always a bright side – while you wait for those curly-cute tresses to come in, there is a huge market of bald baby hair accessories, with all of the bows, caps, and headbands to keep your baby looking just as adorable (if not even more-so) as those full-haired fellow infants.
