Bumbly my dd has lost her hair at the front too, she also lost it at the back leaving a lovely black mohican which runs halfway along the top of her head, from back to front and which wont lie down flat no matter what we try. She is now 14wks and is still losing it although its slowing down a bit. Her cot and pram look like a cats been sat in it after she has been in them for a while.

She also has cradlecap which stands out a mile on her bald patches, been rubbing oil into it so hopefully will clear up soon.

And as for milk spots, my dd had a face full poor thing. They suddenly appeared the day we took her to get her first photo taken and disappeared a week or so later
