Why is my child's hair falling out?

Causes of Hair Loss in Infants
During the ages of 3 to 6 months, it's common for many infants to develop a bald spot due to friction from their crib mattress or car seat. As your baby starts to sit up, any hair that may have fallen out during this time should typically grow back. Additionally, improper hair handling, such as excessive brushing or styling hair into tight ponytails or braids, can also lead to hair loss.
