Over the past week, Ive noticed strands of my one year olds hair coming out... When I run my hands through his hair, 5 - 10 strands will come out. My son was born with a head full of hair and Im aware infants may lose some hair however; my son turned 1 last month - shouldnt he have lost all infant hair by now? Should I be concerned? We eat well - he has a diet of fruit and oatmeal in the morning, veggies and fruit for lunch, mum mum rice treats for snacks, plenty of whole milk and a balanced meal with chicken/lean meat, veggies and fruit for dinner. Im concerned.
Hi, I can understand your concern for hair loss in your one-year child.  As you gave history, I do not feel that you should worry. Normal hair loss can be up to 100 hairs a day. Diet and supplements taken by your son are sufficient. There is no need to give extra vitamins and minerals. Cleanse the scalp with mild shampoo and oil the hairs with almond oil daily.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
