This is normal right?

DS was born bald so I've never experienced it before. DD had a fall covering of dark hair but its started to fall out. She looks like she is receding bless her.

She's only being topped and tailed every few days and I'm not using any products on her.

Yes, totally fine. It all falls out and her 'real' hair will grow in before she's 2.

Yup, totally normal

Absolutely normal and nothing to worry about. Her hair will grow back much thicker - and may even be a different shade or colour when it comes through.

Totally normal, it's a hormonal thing.

DD had a full head of black hair which fell out and grew back white blonde. Very weird!

Totally normal! My LO had a full thick head of hair on birth and was as bald as an egg by four months! It's now thickening up nicely at 14 mths...
