Hi -
I had to deal with two little nieces and some other little ones when I first lost my hair. I just said that I got an owie in my boob and had to take some real strong medicine that I was allergic to. It made my hair fall out. That way they did not hug me too hard or expect me to pick them up all the time, because they did not want to hurt my boob.

Their little friend from daycare already knew about "bald women" since his grandma had to take the same bad medicine and her hair fell out too.

The main thing was to let them know that my hair would grow back and be just as nice as before. And when it started to come in they wanted to feel it and check it each time they saw me to be sure.

SO CUTE!
