Q: Newborn Body Hair
asked by: Skeeter561 on July 22nd, 2005

My grandbaby is 1 month old. She was born with what I think is unusual hair growth on her little ears. I thought this hair would fall off in a couple of weeks, but she is a month old now and the hair seems to be growing in length on her ears. Is this normal? Should we consult a pediatrician?

My first son, who is 6 now, had black hair on his ears and back. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It usually falls off. If it is really bothering you, see your doctor.

My little daughter who is 4 months old had this as well (her nickname became little monkey). She had alot of hair on her head too so her ear hair was not noticable. Over the past few months the hair has slowly started to go away. You can't notice it at all now!! So don't worry you grand baby will not have hairy ears forever.

The hair can stay for up to a year, my daughter had it for about 6 weeks but every baby is different, if you are concerned talk to dr, dont shave it off their little ears are delicate.....

Thank you
Thank you all for your helpful info. My wife & I just had a baby girl on 12/12. She shares the same hair on her back and shoulders. Now I'm not worried about it, but does anyone know what caused her to grow this excess hair?
