Milk drying up and hair loss

bajean1

Hi all, I searched and didn't find anything, but correct me if I missed a post!

At 5.5 months I've noticed that my milk supply has started dropping a lot (Im back at work and have been pumping) and I have also noticed that my hair is starting to fall out like crazy! Any idea on what may be causing this? Is there any what to increase my milk production? I'm not ready to give up breastfeeding just yet as I like the connection/bonding with my little one when I get home from work.

Totally normal on both accounts. If you go down the page a bit, there's a thread 'Anyone's hair is falling off' where you'll find good company.

And if you go to the 'Working Moms Nov check in' we talk about pumping and supply issues a lot. I'm pumping at work as I write this.
