Hello welcome to HCM. Sometimes excess hair may be due to the hormonal changes that passes through mothers milk, or it may be the Lanugo. Lanugo is the tiny hairs that baby is covered in your womb throughout pregnancy. I would suggest you to visit your pediatrician and also you may have to do some hormonal test analysis for your baby in order to eliminate any hormonal disorder.
