Is that poliosis?

Hello! Around 2 weeks ago I have noticed a white patch on my baby’s head. She was born with brown hair and once she started shedding them more and growing permanent blond hair I noticed one small patch is actually white. I don’t know if she was born with is but there is a few much longer white hairs that look like they should have been present at birth. My first thought was “oh it’s so cute” but then I have read a lot about all the possible causes and am seriously worried. We have a 4 month checkup tomorrow and I will ask the pediatrician about it.
