A good GP will have expert medical knowledge, sound medical experience and good communication skills. Over the course of the next few years of your baby's life they will be seen by a number of medical professionals. The role of these valuable people is to look after the welfare of you and your baby. Your baby may be born with or without hair and it is important to have a warm bonnet for them to wear in the first few weeks of life to help keep them warm. Your newborn baby's hair is so fine it can rub off.
Babies often have a small bald patch at the back of their head where their head rubs the cover.
The hair will grow back. Always remember to use a mild baby shampoo. If your baby sustains any head injury they should be seen by a doctor immediately who will measure the extent of the damage. It is always important to seek a medical opinion as swelling of the brain may occur after. When your baby travels down the birth canal their head will be squeezed as they pass through.
