There are different causes of the condition....is there any scaling or something peeling off underneath the hair or just the hair falling out? The paediatrician or a Dermatologist can figure out which of the causes it is and that will determine the treatment"
Please do see a Paediatrician for proper treatment

The hair loss can follow conditions like cradle cap, Seborrhoeic dermatitis or sometimes some babies just lose the initial hair not because of any diseases. There is no need to worry as the hair will eventually grow again. No need to worry but you can see the Dermatologist if you are still worried"
