This happens because of postpartum hormones. Has nothing to do with breastfeeding. It is your body recovering. It will stop and the hair will grow back.
Pregnancy causes your hair to either grow longer / stronger or makes it so it doesn't fall out as much. Now that you aren't pregnant anymore, your body won't retain as much hair and will get rid of the excess hair you had while pregnant. My baby is 5 months and my goodness I have lost so much hair.
