About Me:
I am the mother of a fabulous 2 year old daughter who has had issues with her hair since she was 11 months old. I also have a 4 year old daughter with tons of hair! I have shed many, many tears over this situation because I don't want my baby to have to experience anything that is hurtful. We are trying some treatments that our dr recommends, but in the end as long as she's happy and healthy, we will all be fine :)

    Hello and Welcome..Your daughter is adorable. I wanted to suggest you contact the Childrens Alopecia Project to get in their system and no cost. They do a kids camp every summer for a long weekend for the entire family. Support groups are popping up across the country. www.childrensalopeciaproject.org.

    Please write if I can help in away. Cindy

    My daughter lost her hair around age 4 and it's been on again off again since. Right now she's in a period of shedding again. We used probiotics with a lot of success early but not so much now. We're adjusting the dosage to see if that helps. Other than that, we got wigs from Hair Club for Kids that got us through the worst periods and kept her spirits up. They are actually really nice and high quality - and free. Now that she's older, the wig thing is less attractive to her as she is now concerned about what other kids will say.

    Hi
    My daughter also lost her hair at age 2. She is now 10, bald, and doing great! Filled with confidence and feels beautiful, has lots of friends. Your daughter will be fine. I highly recommend you contact childrens alopecia project. They are having a camp this August in Michigan. Lots of fun (we will be there) and you and your husband will get the necessary support so you can help your daughter throughout her childhood. And they address sibling concerns too.
