Kindly see a doctor preferably a Paediatrician or Dermatologist to rule out scalp infections or disorders that can cause hair loss like cradle cap, seborrheic dermatitis etc
Kindly discuss your concerns with your doctors who prescribed the medications
This is quite common at this age and trust me the hair will grow later. But if still worried, you can see a doctor to check the hair to rule out cradle cap and any other scalp infections or disorders that may be causing the hair loss
It is a normal phenomenon and you can't do anything about it as long as there is no scalp rashes or flakes.
It depends on which part of the scalp the baby is losing hair from and if there are scalp rashes or scaling. To be on a safe side, see your Paediatrician to rule out cradle cap, seborrhoeic dermatitis and other causes.

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"
Some babies have this as a result of underlying scalp conditions which must be treated. There is really no reason for the hair loss and it will just grow back on its own. You need to be careful not to use any products that will worsen the hair loss. It is better to see your Paediatrician or Dermatologist first"
