Loss of hair - is this normal??

My 12 wk DS was born with a full head of hair. Over the last two weeks I have noticed that he is losing his hair just around his ears and up to his temples. My MIL said that this is normal and his "new" hair will soon come through. Is this true??

mine were both baldies anyway, but dd did lose the hair she had. it might grow back in another colour.

Def normal. Both mine lost their hair and got a new lot (of stronger hair) around the age of your DS. Happy hair watching!

Yup, absolutely normal - ds2 had masses of dark hair, it all rubbed off at the back, then he was blonde!

Marthamoo- this happened to my Ds! He was born with massive load of black hair, it fell out in chunks. He is now blonde and really fuzzy!
