It is very typical for newborns from birth-6 months old to lose their hair and nothing to worry about. This kind of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.
What happens is that hair has a growth stage and a resting stage. Growth lasts about 3 years and resting about 3 months. During the resting stage the hair stays in the follicle (why there are no hair buds) until the new hair starts coming in.
At any time, 5-15% of hair is resting but stress, fever or hormonal change could cause it to fall all at once, but it will come back!
Don't worry, but as with ANYTHING you notice, you should always tell your pediatrician just to see what they say!
