My toddler had lost all her hair when she was a baby. It finally grew back lonh enough that we could put bows and do things w it. Shes 18mths now and its falling out again!!! What am I doing wrong. I had stopped putting bows in it a while back bc Ive noticed breakage. How do I stop her from losing her hair? Everytime I brush it shes losing small chunks

Is it possible that she's tugging it out herself? My daugther did this from 11 months to 15 months but only when she was in her cot, she was completely bald on one side, it was heartbreaking for me to see, so I started putting her in babygrows with mittens so she couldn't get a grip on it and after 2 months of wearing those for bedtime and naptime, her little habit stopped. I found when she was tugging it out herself she was loosening the folicles therefore when I brushed her hair, the loose ones would come out onto the brush.
