My baby is going bald! Help

Hi all posting here for traffic really sorry!
My baby is 14 weeks old and has loads of hair, she was born with loads of hair and never lost any of it, it's just got thicker and longer, anyway I wake up this morning and her mattress is covered in hair and I can see at the back where it is from.
I know babies can lose there hair but is it normal at 14 weeks if they haven't lost any before and is it normal to lose that much overnight?
Thank you for reading!!

We called DD friar tuck when she was little due to the bald stripe across the back of her head as she would toss her head left and right to get to sleep.

When I was a baby I was born with dark hair and it all fell out at 6months and the grew back ginger! Grin
You can literally see the transformation over about 3 or 4 pages in my baby photo album!

I guess it's a shock if you aren't expecting it. Mine all had blonde hair so it wasn't so obvious.

Mine had dark hair for the first few weeks, went more and more bald up until about 8 months, then grew a mop of blonde hair that has gradually got darker and thicker since then Smile

Completely normal. Ds was born with a mop of very dark hair. It all fell out and he was completely bald by 6 months. A few months later blond hair started growing and he has been blond ever since!
