baby hair

It's time to face facts.

My kid, (as seen below at a few hours old),

..is losing his hair. (As seen earlier today.)

I've been in denial for a while. He was born with a thick mop of beautiful hair, and it has slowly been thinning as the weeks go by. I see his little wispy hairs collect on his sheets every morning, and the back of his head is totally bald.
He was a little monkey as a newborn, with hair on his back and arms. Soft, downy fur not unlike a tiny creature from the ape world. How I miss his...downy fur.

My question is, when, dear God, does it grow back?

Ah, Peas! He's just losing the lanugo that would have kept him warm and protected as a prem baby this first while.
The hair on his head should grow back eventually! :)

Haha they often get a bald patch anyway on the back of their heads from lying and turning their heads. Most babies born with lots of hair lose it all before their normal hair grows :)

If you look carefully you will see the downy fluff of new growth. It will most probably be lighter than his first crop. But, my, how adorable is he?
