When a baby gets "Cradle Cap", can it cause some of his/her hair to fall out?

You're on track with the baby oil...but there is a special brush that you're supposed to use along with the scrubbing of their oiled up little head!!  Usually the hospital will supply you with this brush.  It is pretty soft and pliable, but yet spiky and it pretty much "scrapes" the scaliness off without hurting them, of course, and usually off it goes.  It is nothng more than extremely dry skin...and that in particular shouldn't make them lose their hair, but if your baby is a newborn (which I am assuming), they definitely do lose hair at first.  And you're like, oh my gosh, my baby is going bald, but it's normal.  Go to your nearest Babies R' Us to get the brush I am talking about....ask the people working there, they will know what you mean by wanting a cradle cap brush!!!

vitamin E is supposed to be good for your hair, but it probably doesnt keep it from falling out. You should talk to your doctor

It may just be male pattern baldness and in may be inherrited.....I know that my dad lost his hair around his mid 30's and I am starting to see that all of it is falling out.. I am waiting to see what happens to mine......well take care and always remember that, no matter what happens on the top of your head, when your pubic hair starts falling out, then you have a real problem...........

KEEP TAKING YOUR VITAMINS!!!\n\nOrdinarily the average head sheds 100 hairs a day, which are being continually replaced.  During pregnancy, the (darned) hormonal changes keep those hairs from falling out.  But the reprieve is only temporary.  Those hairs are slated to go, and they will, within three to six months of delivery. Some women who are breastfeeding exclusively find that hair fall doesn't begin until they wean their baby or supplement the nursing with formula or solids.\n\nTo keep hair healthy eat well, take your vitamins, shampoo only when necessary, use conditioner, use a wide-toothed comb, and avoid using heat on your hair.  It may be a good idea to postpone permanents, hair color, and hair relaxing treatments until your tresses seem back to normal.\n\nIf hair loss is excessive, especially if you are also experiencing other symptoms of thyroid disease consult a doctor.\n\nSO.. to answer your question, unfortunatly there's really nothing you can do.  It's just another "fun" thing about having a baby that will eventually go away.  Isn't it great?!?!  NOT!! I've been losing my hair for almost two months now.. I'm constantly pulling hairs off my baby, off kitchen counters, out of the drain.. it's endless.  Eew.

Sweetheart, yours is falling but mine is gone!  I have rheumatoid arthritis too and my hair is in bald patches and spots and I wear wigs now. I have Systemic Lupus and hair loss is a symptom of the illness. Have you been screened for the anti body? If not you should be. There is no cure for the disease and it is terminal but not deadly, necessarily. Discuss this with your rhuematologist as it is a strong possibility that it's what's going on with you. There is no baldness in my family either, not even the males.

this sounds like it could be whats called a ring worm , no it is not actually a worm ! its is a type of fungus however that is highly contagiouse ,you sould take your baby to the doctor because this well only grow bigger and if the area is in the scalp your child will require a special shampoo , if the spot is on some other area of the body you can purchase antifungal shaves that well help to heal the area , but it is safest to check with you doctor to first be sure that it is ring worm , and second to know if its safe to use an over the counter med . on your baby .   these are very common among children ! if you child is in day care its very posiable that this is where this could have came from , also you can contract them from your pets , and in rare cases dirt.  i hope i helped you and your little one !

vitamins--prenatal vitamins help alot--and u need to check with your doctor-hairloss is a sign of anemia--hypoactive thyroid-and stress-and all of those problems can be helped with medication-good luck

It very well could be.  A friend of mine turned vegetarian and it caused alot of her hair to fall out--once she started eating meat again the problem stopped.

alright well on average a person losses 60 to 100 hairs a day thats everyone if you are having clumps fall out then worry but if you are truely worried about it (which you shouldnt a lil hairloss is alright not clumps) go get this shampoo at your local salon nioxin it prevents the stuff that is up there from falling out it does not grow back hair but prevents it....

Likely happens due to static electricity grabing the hair.  All the rubbing on the front likely creates the force and the weak her likely slips off.

There are many reasons for hair fall,stress,bad diet,nutritional,vitamin and protein deficiencies,hormonal imbalances,diseases,thyroid and adrenal problems,as well as autoimmune diseases can all cause hair shedding.After an illness,fever or childbirth many experience hair fall,but the hair is quickly replaced with new growth once the body goes back into balance.\n\nHave a complete physical checkup with your doctor to rule out any organic causes of hair fall.Eat a good diet that has enough protein,and vitamins in it,plenty of vegetable,nuts,eggs,pulses,lentils, dals,chicken,fish are all good sources of protein and vitamins,eat lots of green vegetables.Take a multi-vitamin and b-complex,massage your scalp daily,treat your hair gently and use natural hair washes or shampoos and avoid all chemicals reaching the scalp.Reduce stress,get exercise,pure water and pray.

you can't prevent it-it's genetic.\nhowever, if you just had a baby, been under a lot of stress or on a calorie resticted diet, then you could lose hair but it's reversible.

Yes.  The muscles which hold it in place get weaker after childbirth.
