I have two female cats that are sisters. They aare a year old and they were indoor cats until they got out and when they came back they were pregnant. They had a total of nine kittens both litters born September 11. They are keeping the litters together. Well two of the kittens from one mom have a bald spot in the center of the top of their heads. The other kittens do not, and neither do the moms. I have a new born baby at home and I do not want her to get ring worm if that's what it is.

Actually I just looked and another kitten has a bald spot on her leg too. This one is a kitten from the other Mom.

I can try to post a pic later if needed. Does anyone know what this is?

It's probably ringworm.  You should wash your hands after touching the cats, take them to a vet to have a culture taken, and begin treatment.  Avoiud handling your baby without washing your hands or better yet wear disposable rubber gloves when handling the cats.

If the skin where there is fur loss appears dry or flakey, or scaley/red at all it is likely ringworm.
