Your baby says
Most of the fine hair on me is falling away, they say. We had a short acquaintance.
What may be happening this week
During this period, most of the fine hair covering the body may shed, and fat keeps building up. In some babies, a little of this hair may still be seen for a while after birth.
A note for you
For the mother, every small sensation may raise a new question this week; asking her doctor or midwife is the right path. For the father or partner, keeping the phone on and staying close by is a simple way to share this week.
A small goodbye, a short note. Let this week stay calm too.
Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
