Anyone still losing hair?

simplejude · December 2010

DD will be 9 months on the 19th of this month. I am still loosing a lot of hair. Im afraid I am going to go bald! I know that it is common to loose hair PP, but this started at 4 months PP and is still going on. How long before I should be concerned about it?

I am still losing like crazy. I have really thick hair though, so I don't know if there is an correlation.

How I don't have bald patches is beyond me!

I was loosing a fair amount until 6 months, but that is also when I stopped breast feeding (not because I wanted to, but I just wasn't producing enough). It took about three weeks after the lack of breast feeding for my hair to return normal. Are you still breast feeding?

Yes I am not as much though. My hair did come back in twice as thick. I just got it done and it took my hairdresser 2.5 hours to foil it. She said it is super super thick now.

My hair loss really slowed down around 9 months pp and has finally started growing back in. I now have lots of 2-3" wispy tufts that I need to try and control but, I'm just happy it's coming back.

I'm still losing a ton of hair (but I have a ton of it too). I am still BFing also and heard that some people keep losing until the wean. I am just so sick of cleaning up hair. Ew.

No, I had some issues and had to stop when LO was only a few weeks old. I have thin hair anyways, so I really would like this to stop soon! Sounds like most of you said it started to get better around 9 months, so Im going to hope!

ETA: Im not on BC either. I got my tubes tied though, I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
