Hi everyone,

My hair started falling out in clumps about 3 months after birth and is still falling out like no tomorrow! To add to that, my baby grabs and yanks strands out during nursing, even when I have it in a ponytail. Is there anyone else experiencing this? Any idea when the hair loss slows down?

 

 

 

Hi Veronica. I'm getting very concerned about  falling hair too. Like you, I have a newborn and I was wondering whether its hormonal or induced by hair products.  Right now I'm trying to lessen shampoo and if I could wash my hair with warm water alone on not so active days.  It seems to work a bit. :)

Greetings!  My hair is still falling out at 9 months.  At 7 months I mentioned it to my doctor and she advised that it is normal however, it can be an indication that your thyroid is out of whack.  So, she did some blood tests just to be sure.  Might want to do the same  :)

My baby is 5 months... This is #2 for me. But it seems to be worse this time... I feel like it's never ending...!

My daughter is 16 months old now and my hair loss is just getting under control (although with winter coming fast, I'm sure the [normal] hair loss will start up again).  I was really concerned because my hair started falling out before she was born and the first pics of me holding my daughter shows actual bald spots!  It took a while, but it IS normal and it will stop eventually.
