Why do babies lose their hair?

Newborn hair loss is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Babies often lose their hair during the first six months. A newborn's hormone levels drop right after birth, which can cause him to lose the hair he was born with. If you notice that your baby has bald patches, observe the way he sits and sleeps. If he always sleeps in the same position or tends to sit with the back of his head against a baby seat, he may lose hair in that area. He may also develop a bald spot if he rubs his head against his mattress. There is really nothing you can do about it and there are no guarantees, but in most cases a baby's hair loss is temporary. There's a good chance your child will sport a full head of hair within a year.

Don't worry, hun, he probably rubbed it off since they spend most of their time on their backs. That why they tell you that tummy time is important while they are awake. It will grow back, probably around the time he starts to sit up.

Not all babies lose their hair.

I have observed that babies who are left in carseats, bouncy chairs, playpens, playmats, cribs, and swings quite a bit of the time, are always the ones who get the bald spot (which precludes a flat head).

Mom's that hold their babies alot, or wear them in slings, (and it helps to sleep with them) never see bald spots or flat heads on their children.

It will eventually grow back, once he's off of his back all the time. But, (and I'm assuming here, sorry) I would suggest you hold your baby more, and keep him out of the bouncy chair :). He needs more interaction and holding if he's getting a bald spot.
