baby acne or hair loss?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My son who was born at 34 weeks is now 5 weeks -1 week adjusted. He hasn't had any of the "normal" baby acne or hair loss will this come? Will it go with his real birthdate or adjusted birthdate? What about inny's and outties it appears he has an outty will that change?

I can't remember when my 29-weekers lost their hair. All of a sudden, they were bald. I suppose if I looked back through the year of photos, I'd see.

They never had baby acne, though. I figured the universe threw me a bone and didn't make my babies' skin look nasty after all they'd been through. But maybe it was more about hormones.

My DD lost her hair a couple of weeks after her due date, or about two months after she was born, however you want to look at it.

Her bellybutton stuck out more and more and we finally figured out she had a herniated belly button. (not a big deal) She is 4 1/2 months now (almost 3 months, age adjusted) and her little bellybutton is shrinking up and appears to be sucking inward toward an eventual inny.

She never did have acne. She has a single pimple on her chin due to excessive drool. (she's teething already, yikes!)

update: my DS is 2 weeks adjusted now and yes he has a herniated belly button as well so he probably won't have an outtie. I guess of all the side effects of being a bit early I will take this one

he has had a few zits to date but nothing like my other 2 kids. No major hair loss so far but I am sure it will come. Thanks ladies for the response.

mine has baby acne. i figure the hair loss will come as she lays on the back of her head instead of the sides?
