I wouldn't worry about it. Both my children at around 5-6 months started losing the hair they were born with, then a few months later (after it all fell out) their new hair grew in. It was a bit thicker (more like the hair they have now) instead of the super soft, downy baby hair. I would find clumps and strands all over the place...the bath tub was a place it really came out.

Don't worry...this is completely normal for a baby.

Yeah, my cousin's baby was born with lots of hair, lost it all at 5 months, (bald as an egg, poor thing!) then a few weeks later it started growing back, a slightly different color. Happens all the time.
