Baby girl lost all hairs on top of head
My newborn baby girl is 1 month old. She is a preterm baby. Born in 33 rd week. She was in NICU for 15 days. Her birth weight was 1.52 kg. She doesn’t have any health issues. Her current weight is 2 kg.
The current concern is she lost all her hairs (which was already very small ) on her top of head 2-3 days back suddenly after giving her bath. We give her bath once a week and other times we clean her with the clean cloth soaked in warm water. No any other health issues. Will her all hairs regrow. Please guide.
