losing hair

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of hair loss? I am wondering if its a hormonal thing related to my pregnancy with DD. But its 1.5 yrs later. i got my period back when DD was 2 months old. i breastfed her til she was one, so now that its been 5 months maybe my body is adjusting or something? i have no clue, but its a lot of hair every showerseriously gross. any thoughts?

Re: losing hair

  • I don't have any advice, but I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone! 

    I've been loosing hair since giving birth. My hair has thinned considerably, and it's really starting to bother me. I don't blow dry my hair, and I very rarely brush it, but I've tried to make an effort to stop wearing it in a pony as often, as that really breaks my hair. 

    If you find a solution, please let me know!

  • I have been going through this lately...definitely more than usual and can't help if I'm deficient in something or other.

  • I don't think I'm losing it quite as much as 3-6 months post partum but it still seems a lot thinner than before I ever got pregnant.  It really sucks too because I didn't have that much hair to begin with.

  • Mine is def. falling out more than normal.  I am still BFing, but I have no idea if it is related.  I asked about this a little while ago and people seemed to think it was just hormones.
  • Well glad to see i am not alone! Potentially the weather could be affecting it too i guess, but man its just a lot and my hair is so thin lately. i will look up those oils and serums.
    Hopefully we find some solution!!

  • Yes! I started losing my hair 6 months PP. My "baby hairs" are finally bangs, but now my hair started falling out again about a month ago, so now I have a bangs and hair that stands straight up. I had my blood work checked for my thyroid and that's fine, so I'm not sure what's the deal. I will say though, that my skin looks fabulous lately. Maybe I have to give up the hair for good skin?

  • I am not losing any at the moment but I'm still BF'ing. I lost a ton several months after DD was born, but it's been slowly coming back ever since. I had these awful "wings" sprouting out on the sides of my head for awhile and they are longer now, but still all over the place if I try to put my hair back in a pony tail.

    I definitely had a nicer head of hair before DD was born. I keep hoping it might go back to the way it was whenever she's weaned.
