That awkward baby stage

At about 3-4 weeks old my baby started to turn in to a pubescent grandpa. Within the space of a week River broke out in milk pimples all over his cheeks and lost all the hair on top of his head, my sister affectionally renamed him George Costanza, for any of you who aren't familiar with Seinfeld he was the balding overweight middle aged guy!

This was another thing i was pretty clueless about. So i googled newborn hair loss and milk pimples. Turns out they are both very common, most babies lose their hair and then it grows back in a few weeks or months and milk pimples are a common occurrence to, its all the mothers hormones coming through the milk into bubs and they generally last a few weeks as well. I breathed a sigh of relief, i was beginning to think i had jinxed River because i kept telling everyone how gorgeous and beautiful he was, now don't get me wrong he was still gorgeous and beautiful but in a funny awkward baby stage kind of way.

He's now nearly 9 weeks old, his little milk pimples have all cleared up and he has the beginnings of a full head of hair.

Did anyone else's baby go through this? How long did it last?
