Hi! What an adorable girl! Actually, I do think you should talk to a doctor about your girl's hair situation. Since she is 9 months old she shouldn't really be losing her hair, rather growing it. You're correct that some nutrition problem may cause hair loss, such as deficiency in iron or zinc, although I think is uncommon for babies. Some skin infections as well as severe cradle cap can also cause problems. Ring worm is one example that can easily be treated. Some babies also simple tear their hair too much! <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/baby-hair-problem.html">You can read a bit more about it baby hair loss here.</a> Please don't worry too much, though. Most severe conditions that cause hair loss only appear after a baby's first birth day. But only a pediatrician that meets your daughter can really help you sort this out. Hope this helps. Please let me know about your progress! /Paula
