I've had horrendous heartburn each time and had bald children so far, my son was over a year old before he needed a haircut and my daughter didnt need one till she was 4!

I had a ton of heartburn with my second, and he came out bald!! I have even worse heartburn with this pregnancy and per ultrasound she has a bunch of hair. We will see!

I had heartburn really bad with my first, she had a little bit of hair but it all fell out, she was bald before too long:) There is no logical way that hair could possibly cause heartburn. It has a lot to do with the position of the baby, all your abdomenal contents are pushed way up and it causes reflux :/ Old wives tales are fun, but really nothing else.

I had HORRIBLE heartburn with my son. To the point if I a drank warm water it would act up! Tums would work for mayve 10 minutes if I was lucky. And he came out completely BALD! He didn't need his first haircut til he was 2 and 1/2!
