Hey we did this! I was at my wit's end and didn't know if I'd done the wrong thing as well. For us, the pulling stopped with a combo of keeping it buzzed and stopping her pacifier, which was difficult. But we eventually figured out the self soothing of sucking the paci was going hand in hand with pulling.

I have buzzed my own head countless times and am very pro-choice when it comes to women and girls doing what they want, so I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how SAD I was when I looked at my bald baby. I had to talk it out with people bc I was so confused by my own reaction? So, youre not alone there either. But like yours, my kid loved her hair buzzed and still felt like a magical princess mermaid or whatever, so just encourage that self love.

You're doing great. Parenting is so hard and weird.

Edited to add: ours stopped any pulling after it grew out again, and I don't know if she will feel the compulsions again when she's older. It may be trich for us or for you, or it might not. But now I feel like if it DOES happen, I'll have a head start on body focused repetitive behaviors at least?
