Did internal fetal monitoring cause the bald spot on my baby’s head?

E’s Mom asked:
Baby is 4 months old, has full head of hair EXCEPT in a small circular patch in back near the top of her head. The patch is only about 1-2 cm across and has no hair growing from it.

I had an internal fetal monitor during my labor, and the spot is about as big around as the wire coil they used for the monitor.
Anyone else have IFM and baby has a bald spot? Anyone have IFM and baby does NOT have a bald spot?
The spot is separate from where she has rubbed her head against bedding. There is actual hair growing where she rubs it off with movement, but the spot in question is small, perfectly round and has no growing hair.

Most babies get bald spots.
Most lose the baby hair as new hair grows out. But they have a spell of baldness in places on their head that rub against the seat. They can turn their head but can’t lift it off the seat causing the hair to rub off in the area..
