Hello! You should not worry about it, hair loss in the first months of life is the norm. The hair with which your child was born is very thin, similar to a down. Due to the fact that small children move their heads a lot, the hair begins to fall out. Over time, your baby will grow new and strong hair.

If you are taking vitamin D without a doctor's prescription, then you should stop giving it.
