PP hair loss. Can it be delayed?

With Mia I was so stressed and a hormonal mess that my hair fell out right away. This time has been completely different and I don't think I've shed a hair. Could it still be coming or might I be in the clear? Could EBFing be postponing it longer than the last time?

Re: PP hair loss. Can it be delayed?

  • I didn't lose my hair with Cam until about 6 months.  With Joey it was 3-4 months PP.
  • I didn't start losing hair until about 4 mos pp with both kids.

  • I never really shed my hair after DD1, at least it wasn't noticeable. With DD2, I EBFd and started shedding hair around 6-7 months PP.
  • I haven't lost mine yet either and with DS, I lost it pretty quickly and it lasted for about 6 months. I was wondering if it would happen this time or not as well.
  • With my last, it was 4 months PP before it fell out.
  • Mine just started when he turned 3 months old. We are shedding hair together.

  • I was about 3-4 mos PP with both of mine before it started
  • Yes, I have had it not happen until several months after delivery.

    Ditto--and I EBF'ed (I mean, they had solids around 5 mos, but no formula) both girls for a year (just about there with DD2).

  • For ME, I never experienced pp hair loss until I weaned.  Since I weaned DD early and decided not to bf, I shed massive quantities of hair (and still am) around 4 mo pp.  It's AWFUL!  My hair became piecey and thin and handfuls of hair have been coming out at alarming rates.  It's starting to slow down somewhat but it's still pretty bad.....and I've continued to take prenatals too.

  • Yep, it didn't start until 3-4 mos pp and stopped around 8 mos pp. Now I have those *cute* little bangs framing my face as it grows back in, lol.
  • I didn't start to lose hair with ML until about 4 mos and it lasted 2 months.  With TB, it happened around 2 mos and lasted 6 months.  I think it's different with every pregnancy.  Sorry =o(  But of course that could mean you won't lose any at all.
