I know the Dr said to expect some hair loss after my girls came but how much and for how long is normal?  It has been 13 weeks now and I am still losing a lot of hair whne I wash/brush/etc my hair. I do BF a little, I don't know if that effects it?!?

TIA for your help!

    My hair loss didn't start until 4ish months PP. It lasted probably until 6ish months.

    Mine lasted about 6 months.  It was terrible!  I had to wear my hair in a ponytail most of the time otherwise I would shed all over the babies and their stuff.

    We're almost to 8 months, and I'm still losing quite a bit.  It's a good thing I had a lot to begin with!

    I lost a ton of hair starting about 3 months.  It stopped around 6 months.

    Right when the boys turned 12 weeks, I started loosing *a lot* of hair.  I knew it was going to happen, but I started loosing so much I actually went to the dermatologist.  What I did notice was I had new hair growth coming in.  It took another 9 months, but my hair is back to normal now.

    Mine just started in the past few weeks and I'm hoping it doesn't last much longer.  I'm sick of pulling it out of the shower drain!

    My hair started falling out around 3-4 months pp.  It lasted at least 6 or 7 months.  It was terrible!  I have a ton of hair but I lost so much that it was obvious.  My 2 are 16 mo and my hair still isn't back to normal.  :-/

    My hair loss didn't start until about 4 months pp.  I have had a bad hair day for a while now.  I'm ready for it to be over, my hair looks gross.

    Mine started at 3months and lasted till about 5 1/2months. I have thick hair to beging with, but this was coming out in globs!! It was so gross!! I was loosing so much the sides of my head where my temples are were becoming very thinned out. Now that the loss has slowed down, the new growth is coming in and it looks like I have horns!! Nothing will keep in down!!
