my little girl loves to wear her cap even if she's just inside the house and no matter how we admonish her about this habit, she insists on wearing it. can she lose her hair early this way? (as in, bald?)

i don't think there's a medical explanation for that. baldness is hereditary, meaning if most of your closest family members or relatives are bald during their early ages, then there's a a big possibility that you would suffer the same fate too. i dunno about the hat actually.

can't help feeling apprehensive, as she's my only girl. but i guess, you're right, there's no medical connection to it. thanks for your opinion!
