2.5-month-old baby hair loss?

Hair loss in 2.5-month-old babies is extremely common and usually normal. After birth, babies shed hair in their first months due to hormones passed from mom; the hair thins and falls out. This shedding usually happens most on the back of the head and sides, where the baby rubs against the mattress during back-sleeping. This is called "newborn hair shedding" and needs no treatment. Hair follicles enter a new cycle; usually between 6–12 months, permanent baby hair starts growing in. As long as the shedding area shows no redness, swelling, crusting, or signs of discomfort, there's no need to worry. However, if shedding is patchy with scaling, inflammation, or dandruff-like appearance underneath, it's worth asking your pediatrician.
